  Just a touch earthy and dark. The mid palate is just a touch dried out. And a little short over all.

  Well balanced and integrated flavours of charcoal, smoke, liquorice and subtle spices. Needed about an hour to open up and preserved its structure for the remainder of the evening. So much better than any wine from this region that I almost wondered if it was from there. In both body style and flavour profile it reminded me of a fine a Hermitage or cote Rotie. Simply an extraordinary bottle ready to drink

  Quite the find. Long, velvety finish cresting with spice.

  Maling, solbær, kanskje blåbær - minner litt om Bordeaux på duft, men uten tobakken. I munnen er det bringebær og jordbær, skogsbær. Men "overraskende" bløt munnfølelse når man forventer Bordeaux fra lukta - i hvert fall rett fra flaska, men så strammer den seg opp.

  80% Garnacha, 10% Cab. Big, rich and ripe - gorgeous black fruits of blackberry and blueberry. Oak still evident. Tertiary leather notes coming through. Beginning to dry. Long finish.
