Community Tasting Notes 7

    June 25, 2014 - This is our only bottle of this label and the only time I've ever tried it so I have no basis of comparison or what to expect. Medium bodied, slightly opaque dark purple color - its lacks harmonious complexity one would seek from the diverse sources, rather it presents modest pomegranate, cherry and black cherry fruits with tones of leather, earth and dried herbs accented by hints of anise and mint on a somewhat flabby moderate tannin finish.

    April 27, 2013 - Stor doft av plommon, läder. Rund elegant smak med mjuka tanniner. Hyffsat lång eftersmak

    March 13, 2013 - Red berries, vanilla, strawberry and earth on the nose. Taste is almost burgundian in it´s frailty, berries and soft tannins. Opens up after about an hour or two, so I recommend careful decanting, surprisingly complex and very good!

    February 11, 2012 - On it's way down. Still drinking well now but do not hold. Simple, but not a bad merlot.
