Being my last bottle and that it has been stored in my garage with temperatures around zero to 30 degress Celcius in the summer, I was a bit nervous bringing it to a wine tasting. But we were chocked! Amazing - simply amazing. Showing no age and a lot of highly integrated fruit and a bit of spice, but not alcohol or oak. We were amazed it could hold so well. The wine may have several good years ahead yet. Amazing!

Really lovely. A lot of heavy fruit with no tannins. Long-lasting taste. Not as spicy as I would have expected. The age did not show at all. Still very lively. Very velvetly a bit like Amarone. Although we liked it a lot with grilled meat of different kinds the wine is not the most sophistacated with a lot of details to go into. But it was a pleasure. Will buy again and cellar it.

Thick, heavy and very long-lasting taste. Lots of very nice spicy fruit. Was very surprised how thick and velvetly the fruit was. Had it with a good piece of meat, but is wasn't the best pair as it would have fitted a nice dessert way better.
