Beautiful bouquet with red and dark berries and elegant, well dosed oak. Same on the palate, beautiful acidity, mild tannin and a good length. A slight touch of sweetness, elegant and already supple and friendly.

40th anniversary tasting (L'Esprit du Vin - Axelborg): My notes from this fantastic gigantic tasting are in general extremely short (because of the many wines) but with ratings. We spent a whole day tasting and tasting quality wines.
This wine: tasted 2017, 2016, 2011: - 2017: 93 The best of them, savoury style, cassis, long finish. - 2016: 92. Closed at the moment. - 2011: 92+. Clearly green bell pepper, cassis, high tannins.

Plummy. Was coravin’d. Smooth, well defined tannins that stood out. Crushed violet. Plum notes initially off putting. But opening up nicely. Cassis. Good, but just not really exactly my speed.

I liked this wine a lot upon release but it's closed up a bit but there is a lovely savory texture developing. Will let this sit 5 more years. 90+
