Colour: Straw
A fresh nose, dominated by a nice mix of cut grass and ripe yellow fruit. Some wax notes give an interesting complexity. Other odors are added after some moments, like strange keys meat juice mixed with floral notes.
The mouth is first rather discrete, contrasting sharply with the nose and first impressions are fruit before taking a strange twist, mixing a strange bitterness (suze) and fruity notes.
The finish prolongs perfectly the mouth. This strange bitterness dominates long enough for a relatively neutral final.
The nose was very promising, too bad the mouth and final are not the same ilk.


A very fruity nose, ripe appel and pear, melon. An impression of great sweetness.
In the mouth, nice contrasts between the sweetness announced by the nose and some slitghtly acid hints, green apple an cut grass.
The finish is slightly behind the expectations with some acid touches and discrete woody, or at least a bit bitter hints.


A fruity nose, ripe apple, very smooth.
In the palate, smoothess still dominates, mixing fruity and slightly woody notes. A great freshness too.
The finish is interesting, but it's nothing to write home about...
