Dark to the rim, maybe a hint of bricking on the very edge. Nose is soft, rich and very enticing. Hints of tobacco, dark fruit compote, and rich dark fruit. Palate is soft, rich and very long

Very perfumed in the nose, with berries, cherries, lavenders, plums, roses, white chalk, and lots of mints; juicy and somewhat silky, yet still tannic on the palate, with lots of berries, some light wood spices, and unresolved tannins; quite to my surprise, very long finish, with lots of berries in the aftertaste; overall, 91-92 points at this stage; should have bought a few more bottles.

Dark red. Merlot driven nose, noticeable plum. Medium to full body. Needs air, still quite some tannin. Medium length. Very nice to drink. Will improve, I guess some more years won't hurt. I think that it should have a ten year drinking window from now on.

Julefrokost 2010 (Casa Smidt): Nose: red roses, black currant. Palate: Very dense and packed with black currant fruit and a huge structure but still not overdone.

Medium bodied, dominated by bright red fruits, earth and spice, this is best drunk on the young side.
