Medium purple ruby. Strong aromas of ripe red cherry, grass, some florals. Fair amount of acids and tannins, and some weight. The cherry flavours seems to be less ripe on the palate, and still having some white flowers and tomato leaves, and hay
Pale garnet. A clear bouquet of roses, grass, and garden soils, somewhat herbal and mushrooms. High tannins, with somewhat high acids whereby the mouthwatering feel only comes about at the back with a slight mint coolness. Flavours of raspberry, twigs, roses, and even somewhat briny. Definitely needs more years
Pale garnet. Pronounced red cherry aromas with rose petals. Strong tannins but otherwise a rather soft silky mouthfeel, with flavours of red cherry, twigs, roses, toast, and dried grass. A pretty good length, somewhat sour-cherry-life. Definitely best with age, but already enjoyable now
Pale ruby. Perfumed bouquet of roses and redcurrants, and bit of clove spices. A soft sliky mouthfeel, where the tannins creep up slowly and does not overwhelm. Similar redcurrant, spicy rosy flavours. Finish was somewhat shorter, probably due to the tannins seemingly softer and did not pull the flavours through as well. A nice one though
Pale garnet and very fine sediments. Strong aromas of clove spices and vanilla pods as well as redcurrant, raspberry and rose petals. Soft silky mouthfeel, but a hard tannin strength. Flavours or redcurrant, raspberry, wheat, grass, hay, rose. Quite an enjoyable one
Pale garnet. The rose aromas take a forefront here, and gets a rather developed earthy grassy character. Very rounded, soft mouthfeel, with red cherries, slightly sour, grassy, tomato leaves, rose petals as if they were trampled on clay soils, but well developed, with some grey smokes and tar. Nice sour cherry finish of fair length
