Deep dark color. Attractive nose with Cassis, toast, coffee and smoke - cassis and smoke dominates. Medium body but with rich taste and surpricingly long length - dry. This was much better than expected.

Deep dark red with a weak purple rim - young. The wine is surpricingly open. Broad dark soft nose filled with toast, coffee and earth tones. Full body and a long aftertase confirming the nose elements. Soft and approacable tannins. Drinking good now for us who can take some tannins, but an other 5 years...and a long life after that.

Holder overraskende godt. Etter dekantering og 1 time lufting åpnet den seg helt opp - trengte luft. Markant brunfarge - skulle nesten tro den var langt over, men nei. Fin balanse og frisk tørr finish. Masse trøkk i ettersmaken. Klassiske elementer av skog, eik, lær, blanding av røde og mørke bær og markant blyantspiss. Dette var første flaske - var det en tilfeldig god flaske?? Flott væskestand og kork.

Dyp mørk homogen farge. Mye jordlige aromaer; våt skogbunn, sopp. fuktig eik og litt floral (roser). Halvfyldig og kjølig i åpningen, men intens og knusktørr i avslutningen. Mye tanniner - bør generelt ligge lenger men er god for oss som tåler tørrhet og syre.

Deep red and clear - no different rim color. Leather, coffee, toasted wood, red and dark forest berries and flower - roses. Balanced mouth feel and leaves a long dry delicious aftertase. Needs time to open up. This is drinking well already. Half body - missing volume and body.

First 2016 tasted and what a surprise. Already drinking well (to me). Coffee, ceder, leather and dry wood. Dry and intense mouth feel, but with round tannins. Elegant and ballanced with good length.

Deep red with a slightly mature rim. Still bit closed after decanting and 2 hrs.Toast, ceder and coffee dominates - slightly floral. Balansed opening with a dense dry grip. It shows class! This can easily take 10 more years.

Dark with a slightly mature rim. Very attractive and sedusive nose. I was surprised - did not expect this. Coffee, chocolate, wet oak wood and smoke - the fruit has been transformed. Still with enough tannins to give a good grip on the relatively long finnish. Medium to full body. Perfect ballance.

Deep color with a nice brownish rim. Broad nose filled with vanilla, horse, smoke and ceder. Medium to full body. The wine fills the mouth with pleaseure of a harmony and exclusivity. I was extreamly surprised. This bottle was totally diffeent from the other 5 drunk from the same case. I have been disappointed up to now, but this was great.

Slightly mature color. Good balance and gentle in the mouth. A nice elegant aftertase with fine oak elements. A more feminine wine that should not be store much longer (at least this bottle).

Deep red. Broad but not intense nose of truffel, plum, dark chocolate, and some burned wood. Soft warm mouth feel, but the aftertaste sits. Intense berry aromas leaves a relatively long finnish. This is a good east bank. Leave it for 5 years and I'm sure it will be great!

The score is for day two. The wine has really potential. Day 1 - boring. Day 2 - opened up with nice rose and cedar nose. Good body and structure. I will buy some more bottles and keep them for 3-5 year. I can''t remember experiencing such a transformation from the first day to the next. Impressive!

Medium depth in color with a clear brown rim. Light on the nose with aromas of wet wood and forest floor with some coffee in the background. Medium body, soft, tannin free, but still healthy and not overtaken by oxidation. This was a healthy bottle - nice.

Dense black-red with a purple rim. A bit more closed than other bottles drunk, but the taste is more intense. The best bottle so far. Dark forest berries, wet oak wood, toast and dark bitter chocolate in the finish - fantastic aftertaste.

Brick - shows maturity. Smells like shit, barn yard and dark Chocolate - not fruit. No tannins left but still fresh in the aftertaste. Half body and a bit short, but what's left is so pure, mature and delicious. Probably a perfect bottle for this wine.

Opened and decanted 2 hrs before drinking. Consumed over 3 hrs. The wine was fully open 4 hrs after decanting so I'll wait a few more hrs next time. Domintaed by ceder, coffee and smoke. To me a great Bordaux with good body, balance and class. Will still last for some years but I don't think it will become any better.

Deep red with a neutral rim. Attractive nose dominated by cedar and with element of forest berries and toast. Good body with round tannins – already drinking well after decanting and a few hours of air. I like especially the mineral-cedar-salty-liquorice aftertaste.

Deep dense color with a young purple rim. Thin, perfumed nose with flowers and herbs. Half body with a dissappointing short finnish. This was areal downturn after tasting an excellent 2012 d'Armailhac a few days back.

A bit disappointed. The wine(bottle) was lacking structure and body. Hope it's just a bad bottle, or did I expect too much?

Deep dark homogeneous red. Broad, fresh and intense nose with dark cherries, toast and coffee -a bit young and closed. Soft silky opening that get more and more intense and leaves a dry, woody, tannic and long finish, surprisingly long finish. Needs some more years.
