  11/15/2020 - Eudemis Likes this wine:

  14.5% alcohol. G 85%, S 15%. Very good long dense cork with no wine penetration whatsoever. Ink dark colour.
  The nose is rich with olive and dark berries, as well as a raisiny touch; a rustic note too, not necessarily unwelcome. The mouth has excellent grip to compensate for the undoubted richness of the wine; no perception of oak, although it might well have played a rôle in polishing the wine. Very good mouthfeel.
  Superb with fillet steak.

  Stadig meget ung i sit udtryk og kan sagtens blive bedre. Blev drukket efter burger med meget sødme hvilket totalt ødelagde oplevelsen. Holder snilt 10 år mere.

  Se smagenoter fra sidste flaske. Denne gang blev der drukket et par flasker før og der blev ikke spist mad til denne gang. Fejl. Med så meget kraft og saft kræver denne vin at der er mad til. Denne vin mangler ikke noget, men er måske ikke så harmonisk endnu. Jesper var vild med den.

  The wine looks Purple colored. The legs are Slow. It smells like Blackberry, Red Currant, Black currant (cassis), Forest floor, Toast, Smokey Bacon, Medicinal, Bark, Oak, Black Pepper, Almond, and Alcohol/Hot. It tastes like Toast, Cedar, Oak, Black Pepper, Meaty, and Alcohol/Hot. The body is Full. The wine finishes Long.
  Farven indikerer en vin på vej mod toppen. Fantastisk duft. Animalsk. Mangler helt frugt i starten men efter to timer kommer der mørke bær. Meget kompleks duft. Herlig
  Kraftig smag. Lidt for spritet i starten, men efter et par timer mere harmoni. Dekanter!. Mellem til lang eftersmag. Er ikke helt færdig i udviklingen. Kan formentlig holde sig i mange år. Altså lidt uharmonisk. Men næste gang skal den dekanteres i laang tid. Kan stærkt anbefales.
