Bone dry and mineral but with and amazing orange fruit expression. Mandarin and cold butter meets the nose with a slight herbal note such as an “Althea hard candy” (perhaps a danish thing). Concentrated in the mouth and a medium long finish. Very dry and quite high acidity. This version is NV but was purchased in France around 10 years ago so surely have some age characteristics. However in no way tired but in a really fine place. Frank over three days and kept opening more and more up for each passing day. A bargain for the price.

Appears a bit short compared to earlier vintages of tasted of this wine - perhaps due to the lean 2021 vintage. However still have the freshness and acidity grip which De Moors wines normally possess. Right now at a stage where it is lightly floral with hint of green spices such as tarragon in the bouquet. The fruit expressions is dominated by lemon with a slight touch of grape fruit but to me the florals and spice expressions are dominating. I would wait a bit to see if the fruit opens up further for the next bottle - perhaps a year or two.

Red fruites and mineral. Fine acidity. Not long on the palate but a very fine expression. A wine in its drinking window and would see no point in holding this much longer.
