This wine is struggling a bit at the moment - it is either in a dumb phase or the wine is fading quite quickly. It lacks a bit of the bite from its youth which leaves it rather soft and sweet, like a NZ pinot. Super elegant and light at times, but the feeling persists that this was better in its youth. Will hold the other bottles to see what happens.

Seems to be either shutting down a touch or thinning out - not sure which. There is a lot of quality here so my guess is that this bottle is just in a cranky phase - HOWEVER - it still has the something-from-nothing aroma of uber-light cherried-fruit and whispy elegance. In a world where everything is turned up to 11 this is turning the dial down to 3 and getting back much more in return.

Parfymert, nesten floral. Fullmoden og rustrød. Tørkede bringebær med brunmineralsk og lang finish. Om man skal trekke må det bli for konsentrasjonen. Men hadde den hatt mer ville den ikke vært like deilig nå.

This is ROCKING right now - this has that Something-From-Nothing vibe going on, with the translucent liquid powering out some incredible aromas - BOOF. There are some cherries and some sweet-black fruit aromas - really treading a nice line between elegant and feral-funky-sweet-decaying nose. There is still quite a bit of fat on the bones here but it is all relative - the frame feels as though this should be feather light and dancing on the tongue. It must may get there - this is superb. 2007s are really clicking into place.

Rather lean with a european barnyard nose.
