  - Garnet color with a light body. Smooth texture with a short finish - Cork broke even with screwpull. Very delicate. Still has some tannin in aftertaste.

  Gently decanted. Color veering toward a dark brown. The nose calls to mind mushrooms. An earthy and subtle palate with some cherry fruit. Quite smooth in texture and no bitterness in flavor. Better than drinkable for certain. Not scored.

  Brown with watery rim.
  Sour cherry, mint, redcurrant with leaves, leather, dried fruit and chocolate truffels on the nose.
  Medium bodied and meaty on the palate with elegant animal notes, earth and pencil shavings. Elegant and alive in structure.
  At the Wine & View Bar. Quite delicious.

  At Wine & View, Helsinki Airport. Pairing a reindeer tapa. Announced as Vintage wine and served by the glass (very short drops!) for just 6.70 €. Excellent! From an underrated vintage, an outstanding ancient wine, still alive. Light brown colour but the greatest aspect was that delicious elixir, that aroma staying inside your nose more than three seconds after the glass was retired from. Leather, almost sweet, meaty, very close to a light Armagnac. An perfume you can not refuse. Constantly attracted by this. Superior! Not bad aftertaste with acidity enough to run more years. A nice surprise closing my visit to Helsinki.
  
  En el bar Wine & View del aeropuerto de Helsinki. Anunciado como vino antiguo y servido en copa (muy poquito) por sólo 6,70€. ¡Excelente! De una añada denostada, un vino anciano pero fuera de lo común, todavía vivo. Color marrón claro pero su aspecto más grandioso residió en ese delicioso elixir, ese aroma que se quedaba dentro de tu nariz por más de tres segundos después de haber retirado la copa. Cuero, casi dulce, cárnico, muy cerca de lo que es un Armañac suave. Un perfume que no puedes rechazar. Te atrae constantemente. No mal postgusto y con acidez suficiente para aguantar más años. Una bella sorpresa para cerrar mi visita a Helsinki.
