I am sure I tasted the wine before, but that is the case (cannot find the reference) if u r not meticulously taking the tasting notes and then u r stuck with search engine (but my visual memory surpases the one of the fulltext search for sure). Very interesting wine indeed. The wine is at the peak and feels somwhere between Old and New World, very less vanilla, rather coffee profile. It is also fairly balanced among all the sensory cahracteristics.

Lively wine with higher acidity which stays in the mounth for next 5 minutes. Wine that some people would love and some hate, nothing in between, I am the "like" side, defintely very Old World style with higher acidity, still very young though.

I very much like the aged profile of Welsh Riesling in the blend. GruVe gives it a bit more freshness. Again this wine shows how stunning 2010 vintage was for ageing, given its rather cold profile.
