  Starting to show some brownish brick red, transparent. Initially closed nose, muted, restrained and with a sharp note. This opened up considerably after 40 minutes of air, showing plenty of bell peppers, leather and cedar box. Some of this transfered to the palate adding red summer fruit and nicely integrated tannins and acidity. Lovely, elegant and balanced. Best to drink up within a year or two if you have any bottles left.

  Doftar mörka bär (av det lite svalare slaget
  ) - svarta vinbär, björnbär, ceder, blyertsväss, multet, stalligt skitigt. Bra komplexitet och mognad ii doften med de mer stalliga tonerna. Stram fin frukt men lite vattnigt i smaken. Bättre doft än smak.

  Fourth bottle of this, and what's becoming obvious is that there's plenty of bottle variation. This was one of the better!
  
  N: Tons of horse manure, green bell pepper and cedar. Some suppressed fruit, cassis.
  M: medium acidity, good fruit and length. A dry, tannic finish.
  
  Nothing complex, but lots of character and tasty!

  Mature nose with dark fruits of decent complexity, some spice notes, a hint of green bellpeppers and some led pencil shavings. Medium bodied with some nicely mature berry flavours. Slightly hollow with a medium-short finish. In other words a rather typical, simple Bordeaux towards the end of its drinking window. Drink it today with a rustic but not too heavy dish of game bird, grilled chicken or something of that nature.
