Was a very nice and elegant wine. Very fruit off the bat which softened a little bit with time and paired well with red meat. Good strength and character behind it. Very tasty but if plush fruits aren’t you’re thing better to try something else. If they are - perfection!

Klassiske Cab-toner med blåbær, grønn pepper, urter, litt plommer og fiken, tobakk. Pent fatbruk, smooth tekstur, bra balanse og bra lengde. Meget flott cab, men mangler litt motstand og mere typisitet. Svært lang

Tasted at Winery: cassis fruit sings on palate, balance is perfection, finish long, cherry-chocolate with cedar box smokiness. Kept adding points from 94, finally landed on 97. This will be a keeper.

An exceptionally smooth and delicious Cabernet. Not overly fruity, not overly dry. Can easily rest a few more years before drinking again.
