Dark purple red. Muted nose of candied red fruits, coniferous forest floor, confection, pepper, relatively prominent capsicum notes. On opening the palate is youthfully feminine and beguiling: cola, dark cherries, red fruits on the fore palate, then relatively hollow on the mid and quite severely dominated by a very astringent, drying wood tannin which is very persistent and really detracts from the potential pleasure of what initially appears to be quite a lovely wine…

Nice aroma right away after opening. On the palate though its mostly acid and tannins for the first three hours. Seems to be more in balance now but it feels like the fruit has withered or is under lock and key still.

Omtrent som forventet: Lett moden pinot-nese med innslag av tørket jordbær og kirsebær. Svakt grønt preg/furunål. I munnen er vinen slank, litt kantete og syrlig finish. Grei for årgangen, men skuffende for produsent/vinmark/nivå

Night one this was reticent, austere, ungainly. Popped back in the cellar with cork in for 24 hours. Next days quite transformed into something quite accessible and lovely, dark red fruits, complex floral perfumes and spice, mineralite. Next bottle might need to wait a decade?

Klar rubinrød farge. Helt åpen etter to timer på karaffel. Moden nese som står i full blomst. Herlig aromatisk sammensetning. Moden kirsebærfrukt, tørkede blomster, tobakk, friske urter i retning timian og rosmarin, samt vått treverk. Noe vegetalt, men langt fra grønt. Moden vin også i munn med sursøte tobakkstoner og saftige kirsebær. Aromatisk mørk men gir en veldig lettbeint munnfølelse. Nedslipte tanninner. Høy friskhet. Medium pluss finish med frukt og det hele. Veldig imponerende vin. På et helt perfekt sted nå, men ingen hast.
