  Fifteen years old and still in excellent shape! Masses of umami, liquorice, black olives, garrigue, roast beef and rust. Luckily, the black fruit doesn't show too much dried notes. On the palate rock solid, with smooth tannins, vivid freshness, outstanding concentration and length, and fully integrated alcohol and oak. Bottles kept in cool storage will surely continue to keep and develop for years.

  Blåröda körsbär i glaset.
  Doften säger - "Gott som fan"! Nypon? Gråsten? Svart vingummi? Lite återhållsam i tonerna på näsan.
  
  Smakar Tegel, bra balans, grus i bakgrunden, stall, hög syra - mycket frukt.
  
  Kanske fel att säga att den är helt balanserad, och vad det i så fall beror på - fler år ger än bättre balans? Men det är hur som helst väldigt gott och jag ser fram emot att öppna Jadis-flaskor med 10-15-års ålder framöver.

  The nose and palate showed an elegant mix of dark fruits, roasted herbs and a touch of leather; There was a slight astringency on the finish, which was a touch clipped, that detracted from it somewhat, although this was still enjoyable

  Good the first night with some good farm funk. Second night fantastic herbs and pepper, very enjoyable. Not sure if this is the peak, but it sure is good.

  Starting to show development. Fruit is a bit dry, with lingonberries and sour cherry. Very elegant and light on the palate. Not sure if this will keep for very long - the fruit has lost quite some body and tertiary notes are only just starting.
