  Tasted from a magnum. Decanted. Drank over 3 hours. Really elegant nose. The scents and smells are driven by fresh fruits; strawberries, cranberries, and raspberries. There are few earthy scents as well. They're jumbled together, meaning no standout character is present.
  
  The palate is easy and enjoyable. It's not complex or incredibly definitive. But being a right bank wine and lasting this long, I am impressed. A good sipping wine and not offensive to anyone.

  Beautiful nose of farm, wild poultry, leather, bacon... hard tannins, red beries, the nose is much better than the taste.

  Lidt for kraftig. Lidt for meget taniner. Men potentialet var stort. Skal nok vente et par år før den er på toppen.
