November 3, 2023 - Musky dark red fruits with abundant oak, grilled pepper and spices, old leather, cola, and flowers emerging with time. Super-ripe and Concentrated flavors of tart cherry, raspberry preserve, pepper, and lightly roasted medicinal herbs. Tight tannins demand time to soften. Very rich and powerful. Not completely void of elegance, but a closer proximity to bruting. Perhaps a bit hefty with Long legs, and a long rich bitter finish. You best have some barbecue with this, and some hearty side dishes. Should have many years of life remaining.

June 6, 2023 - Consistent with my prior note. On the nose, blackberry, orange peel, leather, graphite and some red fruit. Massive on the palate and not showing a bit of its 20 years of age. Amazing wine at this stage with plenty of life ahead of it.

March 19, 2022 - Lang kork i veldig god forfatning.
Meget mørk mursteinsrød, men klar. Lukter av tørka frukt, kirsebær. Kraftig smak av mørke bær. Ingen merkbar sødme. Litt tanniner, men godt balansert. Meget god. 6 år siden jeg drakk forrige flaske, har hatt godt av den tiden. Holder enda lenger. -

September 4, 2021 - Boy, this did this improve since we drank our last bottle in 2010. Everything had pulled together beautifully. Ripe berries and cherries were balanced with the sweet tannins and acidity perfectly. This has probably got another decade easily, but why wait? Highly recommended.
