"Franconian Tasting Gang am 10.05.2024 Zuerst ein großes Dankeschön an DomM, der dieses Set zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Mich persönlich hat es nicht abgeholt das Profil. Bis auf eine Ausnahme ist mir dieser Seifengeschmack too much. Die Reste aus den Gläsern sind aber dann dank DomM und Serge in einem spontanen und überragenden Cocktail gelandet."
"Nice Agricole with decent power. I do not find the aforementioned missing notes here."
"The DNA of the series remains recognizable, in addition, a sweet mango note as well as light sulfur appears in the nose - extraordinary and still quite interesting. Unfortunately, the tide turns fundamentally in the mouth - it becomes soapy-floral. Although the basic profile remains recognizable, it is too clearly overlaid by the aforementioned off-notes in my perception. Unsurprisingly, no other picture emerges on the palate - thus unfortunately disappointing."
"Wieder Eiche, erdig, sehr trocken. Und dann - diesmal zurückhaltend - die parfümierte Seife. Im Mund prickelnd und langer, guter Abgang. Intensive Zitrusfrüchte. Ausgewogen, gute Trinkstärke. Von oben (2015) runter verkostet bis jetzt der Beste."
