    April 3, 2024 - Ikke dekantert. Et valg. Førte glass litt motvillig. Åpner seg nedover I flasken. Ikke eventyr, men meget pen. Og gøy. Energi. Retning. Gleder meg Til neste. Om et år!

    March 31, 2024 - Dense, rich, and powerful. Huge structure, with tannins that are very smooth. Black and red fruit with a long finish. Still peaking with plenty of time to continue developing, but glad I had it at this point in its evolution. This is the best wine I’ve had thus far for 2024.

    March 28, 2024 - Decanted for 3 hours. I have to admit that I was a bit nervous about this wine (as I have quite a few bottles of it). I had my last bottle about 7 years ago and it was really (as some critics say) very "Californian". Don't get me wrong, nothing against wines from there (I like that too), but when I open a Bordeaux, I would also like to drink Bordeaux. In any case, the wine surprised me in a positive way. This time it was quickly clear that it was a Bordeaux. The wine has developed well, is still young and, in my opinion, still has the potential to develop (even) better. 94-95 pts. at the moment.

    February 24, 2024 - Hedonistic is this wine's nature. Full-bodied, concentrated, lush, opulent, deep, fleshy, long, and intense, the wine is packed and stacked with non-stop waves of ripe, black, blue, and red fruits that fill and coat your palate. There is intensity, depth of flavor, length, purity, and richness. Still youthful, this is going to age better than most 2003s. Perhaps this is not a style for everyone, but I loved it! Drink from 2024-2040.
