    September 10, 2008 - light violet nose, tart red fruit, bit of cranberry, tannins slightly overpower the fruit. good wine for weds night salmon.

    November 15, 2006 - Medium garnet core, wide pale mahogany rim. Light intensity nose with red fruits, quite sappy, some forest floor. Medium bodied palate, raspberries with some forest floor, medium acidity, resolved tannins on a rather short finish.
    Overall lacking a bit of intensity and character, but very drinkable and certainly better than last time out.

    August 27, 2006 - Bright, mid red. Initial nose of strawberries that followed though to palate. Good acidity. Slightly mutted. With air, a little more complex but seemingly slightly subdued too. Perfectly drinkable but not worth buying. Just starting to gain secondary characteristics, but the fruit is quite one dimmentional. Not very exciting.

    July 23, 2006 - Lys farge. Lukt av lær, røyk og moreller(?). Flott smak og et kupp til prisen - 159 kr på Torp taxfree.

    February 22, 2005 - Pale garnet, medium/wide brick red/orange rim.
    Light/medium intense bouquet, pinot spice, raspberries, hint of forest floor. A little closed.
    Not a whole lot going on on the palate either, some dried red fruits and spice, a little dilute with low tannins and keen acidity. Disappointing.
