  Black currants, blueberry soup, oak, vanilla, eucalyptus, spices, and alcohol. Large, fresh dark fruit with fine tannins. Perhaps a bit low on acidity for my taste, but still nicely balanced, the oak might stand out a bit, and there's a slight hint of high alcohol. But overall, a good wine for the price.

  Extra allt! Behöver tid för att lugna ner sig.

  Primary. Plenty of black fruit and cassis. Waiting will be rewarded.

  Appears as deep purple with deminished intensity at the rim.
  Herbal expressions of eucalyptus and menthol are present on the nose.The fruit inhabits the black spectrum highlighting black cherry and blackcurrant. Vanillin oak rounds out the aromas, the characteristics in decending order of impact are herbal, fruit then oak.The nose is of medium intensity.
  The herbal notes seem to have retreated into the background as the fruit headlines the palate. Bursting with flavours of cherry and mulberry that sweep the senses, as do the mouth drying gum tingling tannins.The flavours are full and ripe, just barely tipping over into a slight cooked note on the finish.There is also a faint spicy note, presumably oak derived.
  All in all a good to very good medium bodied wine, with the flavour intensity a highlight.
  Surprisingly, I find it can be drunk now. While the tannins are firm and astringent, the prominence of the fruit acts to balance and compensate.
  It will no doubt develop and improve with further time in bottle, but It's more open and expressive as a young wine than many other vintages from this label.
  Responded well to decanting, opening up nicely after a couple of hours.

  Good edition. Maybe a bit lighter-boned than other recent vintages but good balance, length and complexity at this stage. Will buy for cellaring.
