• This selected vineyard "rare peak quality" wine has a label called "Bear glue". This wine is made from gapes of which around 20 % had nice botrytis. That's the reason why the smell from this wine reminds so much about a glue used in Swedish schools several decades ago. This glue was very pupil friendly and could be smelled and even eaten without danger. The smell from the glue came from added almond essence, which is the hallmark smell of botrytis. The glue is still on the market, now sold under the name "Coccoina".

• Color: Light yellow
• Smell: Flowery, lime, apricot and almonds like from bear glue.
• Taste: Lovely balance, good rich body, thick in the mouth, colossal after taste lasting for a minute.
• Judgment: Bold and dramatic wine, exciting to follow by bottle aging

• Color: Light yellow
• Smell: Still a bit shy, but opening up. Soft and sweet.
• Taste: Fat and rich as the 'Dry honey', but more breadth and opulence.
• Judgment: Still not ready for consumption, but has a bright future. Preferably wait a couple of years.

• Color: Medium yellow
• Smell: Strong nose of matured botrytis, very special and exciting for a dry wine. Some soft cardboard in contrast to stylish minerality. Smell reminds of a dishcloth, the classic sign of a dry Chenin Blanc wine from Loire.
• Taste: Rich with soft acidity, the hallmark for the 2015 vintage. A vegetal feeling from the botrytis. Long, rich after-taste. Wonderful.
• Judgment: Has opened up, but shouldn't been drunk too cold directly from the fridge. Use it to spicy fish dishes, also Asian type.
