    June 28, 2020 - Wine is getting too old, smells like its oxidating. But very powerful in mouth, elegant, smooth, full bodied!

    April 25, 2020 - Aged very well and still no sign of being too old! Strong dark fruit flavours, vanille, oak, very balanced, full bodied in palate, long finish. Got better by the glass, opened ot 1 hour before drinking.

    April 2, 2016 - Lovely dark frukt and leather. Aged well without obvious age markers. Has kept a good structure and quite a bit of tannins. Less than the young wine. Drank it with braised wild hog and red wine sauce, mushrooms, cranberries and nuts and carrots/potatoes/beetroot on the side. Good fit.

    August 10, 2015 - Inga anteckningar, men ett mycket gott vin där balansen mellan struktur och frukt (svarta vinbär, mogna blåbär) var särskilt framträdande. Fruktigt, gott, smakrikt och moget men med bra skjuts på tanninerna och en bra, kompletterande syra som höll vinet fräscht, intressant och långt. Kommer att köpa nya årgångar.

    Till en älgstek med enbärsdoftande gräddsås och egen färskpotatis.
