BYO Litteraturhuset (Litteraturhuset i Oslo): Tett, mørk og konsentrert farge. Mørk frukt, mørke bær og lakris på duft, søtlig frukt på smak. Varm og sødmefull, alkoholrik i anslaget. Fortsatt ungdommelig etter 20 år med enormt trøkk og ekstraksjon. Tøff vin - litt "in your face", heftige saker. Det blir litt for mye av det gode og jeg savner litt mer rafinnement her.

Not decanted. Some bricking. Aromas of decaying leaves and bruised pomegranate. The palate showed slightly pruney fruit and lots of humidor and cedar. Over the hill. A glass the next day showed similarly. Disappointing.

Unlike other recent reviews I found this wine to be gorgeous.
Deep purple, no bricking. I poured a big glass a let it sit for a few hours. Some sediment, but no worries there, licorice and blackberry at the front and long finish. Lots of alcohol, but balanced.
On second glass, I regretted not giving that more decant time.

Disappointing. Well made. Nothing wrong with it. But kinda boring. Expectations for this wine are high - and should be given the cost - but I've never felt that it lived up to its reputation.

Drinking very well. Has the robust fruit with good tannin structure to keep it from getting sloppy. Hardly any signs of age.
