Brambles, black and blueberry with strong herbal (tomato and nettle leaf) tones. Long persistent finish and we'll integrated tannins supported by high acidity. Plenty of life left in the bottle. Would give it another 10 years minimum.

A very deep colored, dark purple/black color. Surprisingly had a pepper, leather scent along with a subtle blueberry. Flavors of blueberry as well along with a spiciness of pepper, cocoa, and tobacco. Also, quite smooth and rich on the palate with a lovely finish.

Ripe black berry fruits. White chocolate, licorice, exclusive oak, touch of sweetness, good acidity, soft tannin. Full bodied and rich, concentrated and complete wine.

Her var det for lite syre og tannin til å stramme opp den kraftige og litt søte frukten. Funket ok til grillet kalv\okse kjøtt. For dyr i forhold til kvalitet.

Dark and dense- a ruby-black. Aromas of pepper, blackcurrant, anise, licorice, and black cherry throughout the bouquet. Predominate flavors of blackberry, blackcurrant, spice box, coffee, cocoa, and tobacco. Rich and silky through the palate with lish and ripe tannins. The oak and fruit are nicely integrated. Medium-long finish.

Drank this last night at Summer Pavilion (Ritz-Carlton). Theme of the night: Wines from 2005.
Bottle breathed for 10 hours before consumption. Nose is typical cabinet sauvignon; red fruits (prunes and berries), mint and strong leafy notes.
On the palate there are tobacco notes, leather, some spice, Very well integrated and drinking very well now. Smooth, rich, silky with a lush finish.

Strong, but rather straightforward blackcurrant nose. Soft, full, polished, almost fat, black, slightly bitter. Long and rather tannic.

No, no, no... The oak is too much to handle, at least some time after the bottle is opened. Can it integrate?

Crystal Premium Chilean Wines Thematic Tasting (Crystal Wines): Violets and varnish lifted. Judiciously oaked. Sweet juicy berry juice. Quaffable stuff.
