Vegetable notes immediately upon opening the bottle. They went quickly away and revealed the expected autolytic nose. Very nice. Strong mousse after 25 years. Balanced mouthfeel and long finis. Perhaps for the first time the acidity didn’t dominate.

Note: thos wine needs serious airing. At lest 3-4 hours decanted, in fridge. I left half a bottle in the fridge for 5 days and it came out stunning. Straight out of the bottle it was quite lame.

Bottje one was flawed, definitely bfunky on the nose. A little bit blew off with airing, but still not perfect. 2nd bottle much cleaner on the nose, with nice raspberry notes. quite fresh mouthfeel. I think I will air the last bottle for an hour before drinking. Anyway, seems absolutely to be time to drink up,

Stunning. Drunk from magnum. Fresh, fruity very little age and autolysis at 30 years old. As usual, with wines at this level they are difficult describe. If you get the chance to taste it, go for it.

A great bottle. Plums and prunes, sweet dried apple, nicely balanced sweetness and acidity, with a little bitterness in a long finish. Stunning. Tasted over several days.

The wine was over the top I believe. It was more interesting than nice, however, it had notes of raspberry and cherries, some medicinal notes on the notes and perhaps some brett. It was tasted by different people over two days. It didn't change noticeably, but stayed interesting. 100% Loire Pinot Noir.

en kjempeoverraskelse. Dekantert 1 time. Egentlig veldig barolo på nesen og i munnen. Etter en stund kom det tydelige te-aromaer, men smaken var kjølig, frisk og ren hele veien.

Rustred, bit cloudy. On the nose a bit oxidised, mature apples, dried apricots. Well-balanced, elegant mouthfeel, a little tannic and a nice bitterness on the finish that makes it well suited with food. The fruit is still apparent, with apples, apricots and bitter orange, also some nuttiness. Excellent wine and even better two days later, if possible

Deep golden, very mature nose. Slow mousse. Acidity is finally integrated. Yeast/brioche and a little truffle. Balanced, structured with a long lingering finish.
