Rubinrød. Klar og fin pinotfrukt dominert av granateple og lyserøde bær. Litt fatkrydderi. Bra syre og tilgjengelige tanniner. Et ørlite urtepreg (fra fat?) som munner ut i en grei lengde for nivået. Utviklet seg positivt over 2-4 t i åpen flaske, helt OK tirsdagsburgunder til andebryst og risotto. Holdt seg faktisk overraskende godt på dag 2 også. Like fokusert og klar, ren frukt fortsatt. Drikk nå - 2017.

Developing in the right direction, less game and more red cool berries. Tannins fully integrated, nice acidity, and ok fruit. Good balance and ok length on the finish. Does not really trill me, yet it is a good burgundy on this level, now clearly benefiting from age. Drinking well now.

Consistent with previous notes. However I think the earthy notes dominates a bit too much, and the fruit is a bit on the dark side. Elegant and with a good balance, yet I feel there is something in there that is not fully revealed yet. Works fine with a proper dish, and I thing it improves together with food compared to being drunk solo. Tannins is fully integrated from my point of view.
Length on the finish is OK, and I like the acidity and the lingering mineral tone in the end. Still I think this deserves somewhat more time in the bottle before reaching a better state.

Mid red on colour, brickish rim. The nose has several layers of red berries, some game and forest ground which increase the intensity with time in the glass. The palate however shows more red berries, a nice depth on the fruit with an OK finish. Hints of sour cherries. Over the last 6 months this wine has grown in elegance but has (for now) perhaps lost a touch of finesse.
The tannins has smoothed out, still I find this one being a bit tight still - lacks some fruit but it seems to be in there somewhere, meaning I am still positive and hopeful. With time it evolves positively in the glass. The structure is there.
Wait another year before the next bottle.

God og drikkeklar Burgunder. Integrerte tanniner. Virker litt tynn, men frukten kommer fram med litt luft.
