  Showing perfectly right now, still a lot of primary dark fruit, but some tertiary earthiness starting to appear, very good structure and length

  The bouquet opened with mineral-infused black cherry, hints of fresh pine, and with time in the glass, notes of balsamic spice and lavender. On the palate, soft textures paved the way for a coating of dark red and blue toned fruits on a light-bodied frame, as zesty spice created a mouthwatering experience, releasing mineral and inner floral tones. The finish was long, yet tightly wound, with saturating red berry fruit, leather and hints of fine tannin.
  
  I'm in love with the bouquet here, yet baffled a bit by the persistence on the palate, and then feeling reassured again on the finish. Medium-term aging is my first thought here, with 5 - 8 years being my best guess.

  :-) 440 NOK Forsmak: Litt spennende fersk gjæringslukt, litt høy. Floral med litt luft, elegant og lett morell-juice
