July 11, 2021 - Rubinrød med orange kant. Plommer, sigarkasse, løsemidler, solbær. Samme i munn med metall og grafitt. Luksuriøs, rustikk, skikkelig tettpakket tanninstruktur. Lekker lang ettersmak. 92-93.

December 22, 2019 - Not as good as expected. Dominated by wood notes and tannins. A bit lean medium density. Black fruit and tobacco but not very complex. Cork and level were OK so I don’t think there was an issue with that bottle.

January 14, 2019 - Lovely, mature, grizzly notes of gamey duck/quail, full of umami. Huge nose of fresh tobacco, newly charred wood, settling dark berry frame. This one isn't long for this world, but wildly interesting example of secondary/tertiary notes fully taking the wheel. Utter surprise.
Had with mac-n-cheese. Strangely great. ($57 - Benchmark) -

October 31, 2018 - Just to reiterate the note from 5 months ago, this has entered its decline and should be consumed over the next year. The nose is still full of ripe berry fruits, and the palate is mature and complex. However, it is starting to exhibit signs of over aging on the palate.
