Adrian van Velsen - vvWine

(01-2022) After more than 25 years, this wine from 1996 is still in the glass with a youthful colour, there are hardly any noticeable tones of age. The nose is finely scented, fresh, shows cassis, spices, black cherries, tobacco, cedar wood, violets, very complex. Matured to the point on the palate, still fresh and with a wonderful acid structure, the tannins are finely interwoven with the delicate fruit, the wine is long-lasting and extremely harmonious on the finish. Filigree and amazingly youthful, has reserves for another 15 years.

Falstaff

(02-2016) Strong ruby with purple reflections and broader rim brightening. Ripe, red berry confit, fresh cherry, a touch of tar, some liquorice, tobacco, black cherry and candied orange zest. Juicy, notes of liquorice, vital on the palate, highly elegant and balanced, has reached a first drinking maturity, good length, does not seem a trace too concentrated, silky, very appellation typical, wonderful to drink now.
