  Good, competent middle-of-the-road red. Very nice with homemade pizza. Fine to drink alone.

  Initially a whiff of cassis, then more into dark ripe fruit and a little sous-bois on the nose. Medium bodied, delivering rather vibrant dark, portlike smooth fruit with a tiny sweet attack in the beginning. Firm and gentle tannins. Decent acidity. Subtle earthy and oaky flavors. Starting to show signs of maturity. With more airtime the oakiness seemed to increase. Nevertheless, very enjoyable and in a good drinking phase.

  A blend of CS, Syrah and Grenache.
  Open nose with ripe plummy fruit, perfume, graphite and chocolate - as well as some more mushroomy nuances.
  Fullbodied and fleshy palate with gentle grip and mid-level acidity. Very ripe fruit, but still in decent shape. Liquorice, cedar, chocolate, perfume and mushrooms. There's some really nice earthy/perfumy nuances, but I'd like to see the fruit a bit more alive. Warm and raisiny feel delivering some distant echoes of Tawny Port.
  Popped and poured. Lets see what happens.
  EDIT: so, no resurrection of fruit here; everything just toned down on day2. Pop and pour's the way to go.

  Vacker rubinröd färg, liten doft, torkade frukter, eldig doft och smak.
  Lite av en besvikelse till denna maträtt.
