Deep purple - not much chance of seeing through this one! Amazing depth. Rich dark fruits - prunes, plums etc - on the nose and the taste certainly does not disappoint. Again, sweet rich dark fruit but backed up by a medicinal backbone. Fantastic and excellent VFM. One more in the cellar but I cannot see how this could get much better!!

The bouquet offer dark ripe fruit, a toasted touch, plum, blackberries and a hint of menthe/menthol. Nicely oaked.
Lovely fresh fruit, balanced even if the alcohol dominates the finish (15%). Good acidity, soft tannins. This wine is quite cool compared with 2009. Better acidity. Some minerality. Quite long finish with blackberries and some lingonberries.
This wine peaks after 12 h in decanter (closed with foil).
I must admit I'm surprised how well this wine performs with time in the glass. When I just opened the bottle I thought this was just an "ordinary wine" and gave it 86 - 87, but after 3 h this wine started to open up. 91p with the potential to reach 92 p, I think.
