Nose of black cherry, cassis, oak, hint of tobacco. Full bodied, soft tannins, but well structured acidity. Half hour air helps to open it up, brings forth the fruit, lets the oak and tannins settle.

Ouvert et bu. Plutôt simple, quelques notes de cèdre et cassis avec une finale un peu amère.

Bordeaux 2022 barrel samples and some additional vintages (Solliden in Stockhom): A bit dissapointing given the high quality of years like 2019, 2020 and 2022.
Only brief impression. Didn't have the time to take a detailed note.
