  Drinks great right now and still shows fresh fruit in the form of cherries and rosehip together with lovely maturity on the form of dirt and wet leaves. Well integrated and lovely tannic structure. Great!

  Out of nervousness, I decided to pull this one tonight to see what it was all about. Pulled the cork which had about 80 percent bleed up the sides. The nose was a little earthy and metallic and immediately thought the worst. The wine after immediately pulling the cork had a very weird nose of bramble with some onion and weirdness. The front was a mixture of cherry cough drop, herbaceousness, and a chalky finish. After it was allowed to sit for an hour, this one really did wake up. The nose and palate was raspberry and black cherry on a medium bodied entry Hint of oregano. Middle was soft, medium bodied, a little reserved. The finish is raspberry tart, although quite restricted on the "tart" part. You could taste the inside of the barrel that this wine was aging in, but there was no discernable tannin, and the wine finished rather strong with a hint of herbs. Nice wine, although a bit attenuated. I think this one has another year left, but it might be socially awkward moving forward too many years from here.

  Doft av blommor, körsbär, nypon och söt lavendel
  Smakar körsbär, mint, röda bär, peppar. Härlig syra och medium tanniner.
  Denna börjar bli riktigt bra....nästa flarra 2015-2016.

  Intriguing bouquet of tar and rose petals, go figure, along with herbs (sage, basil, bay, and thyme), and wintergreen. Generous and juicy attack, focused and stalwart mid palate, powerfully structured and tannic back and finish. Great juice and great value! 90-91.
