Cork was wet through but stayed intact. Lovely aromas of cassis. The wine is jewel bright in the glass, slight browning at the rim. Palate still has red fruits but the primary taste is of cedar and leather. Very light and not too dusty at all. Nice surprise.

Exceptionally well stored since acquisition upon release. Cork came out whole. Low neck fill. Took a few hours to fill out. Very strong cedar boxy throughout. Quite a lengthy finish. All albeit with plenty of dryness. A monumental steak wine (sadly I had pasta). The score here is my objective score. My subjective score i ans easy 95. Why? Because this wine delivers a real cigar boxy mouthful and does it it without the density and weight of a modern style Bordeaux. This wine is very light in weight on the palate but it delivers an immense incisive expression to the palate. I like the mix, but that is basically the old style Bordeaux mix.

Nederst i nakke-fyll, fin kork (rekorket?). Mørk farge, bred kjerne. Solbær, skogbunn og lær på nese sammen med noe vemmelig mandelpreg og litt alkostikk. Flott kjølig og stram i munn. Godt balansert og saftig preg. Pent tanninbitt generøst fordelt i munn. Lang men beskjeden. Nesen trekker ned mens munnen er ganske flott.

Medium garnet.
Clean. Fresh red fruits touch of leather.
Dry. Earthy red fruit touch leather. Medium finish.
