  Kork ut i god forfatning. Fargesterk. Mørk mursteinsrød farge. Solbær dominerer lukten. Rundt anslag. Mørk frukt. Godt med syrlighet. Litt sursøte tendenser. Middel lengde. En helt greit, men ikke topp vin.

  Out of a magnum, this wine has all the green attributes of a well aged French wine made for patient folks, intertwined with lots of cedar and pauillac like combination of graphite and unsmoked cigar tobacco. The bell pepper and the grip of the wine from the freshness of the magnum make you think first growth from a bad year…but the mid palate says no, and then the grip comes back and says, take another sip. Very fun to drink. Then you think, maybe a Loire Cabernet franc. Then you take another sip and realize you still don’t know shit about wine….DRINK

  The wine was medium to dark garnet in colour and offered black currant, cherry, blackberry, roasted bell pepper, vegetal notes, horsehair, leather and spices on the nose. On the palate the wine showed black currant, dark cherry, blackberry, raspberry, spices, tobacco and vegetal notes, with medium-plus acidity, slightly underripe tannin and good length. The (just) medium-bodied wine had good aromatic complexity, but was a little thin, a tad green and somewhat disjointed, and it seemed as if the grapes did not achieve full phenolic ripeness.
