More concentration than Asphodele but aromatically a little shy. Greater tension on the palate, though, keeping the wine upright and long. Will have to see how it develops.

The maiden 2022 Lilium (FYI, Latin for lily) is more or less the same as the Asphodele but represents a selection that is aged in WineGlobe. It has a light Granny Smith and white flower-scented bouquet that offers slightly more presence than the Asphodele. The palate is well balanced with a more resinous texture and seems to have more matière. Texturally satisfying, this is one to look out for after bottling, though quantities will be limited to 3,000 bottles.

Drank one year after the release, and it really feels like the wine is settled. The Climens 2022 offers a wonderful bright nose with white flowers and pear fruit not too energetic but already offers the promise of complexity. The palate offers very interesting hints of not too sweet honey, some citrus fruits and a nice complexity and bite.
