The bouquet of the wine is beautiful and full of tropical fruit with a pinch of ginger. Melon, pineapple, mango, passionfruit, dried apricots: it is all there. The wine has a nice and soft mouth feeling and is very well balanced.

The wine has an extensive aroma palate with scents of blackberry, prunes, rosemary, pepper, eucalyptus and bay leaves. The bouquet of the wine however promises more, and is more comprehensive, than the taste delivers. The wine has no great complexity in its taste and a somewhat short finish. Nevertheless, this is a nice and well-balanced glass of red wine.
A remarkably good and fine wine. Very well balanced, full of aromas and good in acidity with a pleasant ending. The wine has a very attractive bouquet of primary, secondary and tertiary aromas of apricot, honey, dried apricots and figs, cedar, vanilla, butter, brioche and some herbs. We taste nectarine, apricot, yellow tropical fruits combined with butterscotch, vanilla, cedar and a small almond bitter in the finish; typical flavours of 6 months ripening on oak. As the name indicates: It is made with love!
After a more subtle and modest nose, an overwhelming taste comes over you and you will taste intense tropical fruit, ripe yellow fruit, stone fruit and floral flavors. The wine has a fine and smooth mouth feel.
A wine with a fruity and mineral character. In the nose we smell yellow fruit, stone fruit and scents of green asparagus. In the mouth we taste apricots, ripened apples and gooseberries and pear. Besides its fruity character, the wine has a distinct mix of stoney and slightly bitter flavors (almonds). It is a full, round wine. A good wine in quality, it could have been slightly higher in acidity.
A pleasant and fresh aperitif with fruity and vegetal flavors and a nice minerality. The wine has a full bouquet of lemon, green and yellow fruits, green bell peppers and secondary, malolactic aromas. The bouquet of the wine promises a bit more than the taste delivers. The taste is characterized by citrus, green vegetables and minerality.
A pleasant, fresh and fruity aperitif. Aromas of yellow fruit, stone fruit and floral characteristics in the nose and a pleasant palate with flavors of grapefruit, yellow apple, pear, lemon and a hint of flint in the end. A slight downside of the wine is that the mousse disappears quite quickly from the glass.
Both in the nose and in the mouth, we have a combination of primary and secondary aromas. With flavors of cranberries and strawberries, we taste red fruits and dried fruits in combination with rustic flavors of leather, stables and tobacco. The panel was impressed! The wine reminded us of Sangiovese and has a very good price/quality ratio. Compliments to the winemaker!
A strong and well-bodied red wine with aromas and flavors of blackcurrant, blackberry, eucalyptus, pine, cedarwood, olives, cloves and red bush tea. Fruity and more animal and herbaceous flavours together form a broad palate. A good and well-made wine, recommended to combine with steak, cheese or ‘melanzane alla parmigiana’.
A very aromatic wine with aromas of forest fruits and oaky and herbaceous characteristics. We taste a very interesting and broad flavor palate with specified flavors of blackcurrant, jammy fruits, prunes, figs, blackberries, juniper, bay leaves and a hint of cinnamon. The wine has a pleasant, long ending. The tasting panel was completely caught off guard. They couldn’t believe they were really tasting a Dutch wine, and not a Zinfandel from Barossa. Is this really Dutch wine? Yes it is! Well done and well made!
