A very complex deep fruit wine with heavy cedar, lavendel, and dark cherry. Perfect! Will probably get even better if stored a couple of years, but since good balance of tannins also great now.

Nice with a very good balance of fruitiness and smooth tannins. Works very good with game, soft cheese, and above all chocolate with licorice, fantastic! One of the most price wordy red wine's one can buy.

High on alcohol, 14%. Falling apart and this last bottle was rather flat.

A bit rough , but nice anyway. Yellow apples and grape with some bread, but would probably gain somewhat on aging a bit.

Now, it's really nice after 4 years in the cellar. The nebbiolo has developed very nice, still a few tannins but minerality and freshness is on the top with a somewhat stony and meaty body, might be dependent on the rather high alcohol level.
The wine has started to fall apart a little and the colour is shifting towards brown. I still have a few��

Very fruity, good balance, need to be served cold 8-10 where it's probably best. This wine works well with fish and a creamy and fresh sause. The price is just a bit on the high side and this cause the "low" rating.

Fruity with a hint of red pepper, kirsberry, blackberry and minerals. On the palate a bit young but with nice acidity with a complex fruity flavour. This is a very price wordy wine that works perfect with a grilled steak, preferably with a smokey taste.

Is it loosing some of its character? Still good balance with the intense fruit and complexity of the grape blend: Corvina, Corvinone Rondinella and Oseleta.

Serve a bit cold, should always par with food, I would not just zip on this grenache, except with a salty chocolate ��
On the nose dark kirsberry, cedar, a hint of lime and some leather. On the palate fresh with nice balanced acidity, smooth but not very tasty, I was hoping for more fruit.
Not price wordy on 137 Sek.

A very price wordy Petit Chablis, require food with some acidity and fat balance. Excellent with cod, shrimps, creme fraiche and cooked sweet potatoes.

Still a bit young, will store for at least 4 years. Complex with heavy fruit, licorice, tobaco and some leather with quite a lot of tannins still.

This is a well balanced very fruity wine, however the value is questionable. One bottle of 2013 was 277 Sek, my opinion is that half of that would be more relevant.

A very nice Grand Cru Riesling, complex in a smoth way with acidity only on the edge with some citrus and minerals at the end. This wine requires good acidity in the food to make it worth the price which is a bit high, but I hope it will develop in the cellar. The next bottle to be open in 2 years.

Very nice fruitiness, well balanced, a bit thin like a Pinot Noir with a typically light grape is it is in some cases. Even though based on Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Carignan and Cinsault it's still light. A very nice blend that suits my taste when having a game salad, chicken with some heat but a creamy souce. Well worth the money!

A nice Pinot Noir from NZ, good balance, rather thin with smooth character with some pepper and red berry taste. Not my choice since 180 Sek for a bottle should render more taste.

On the palate therse is bread, citrus and a touch of grape amongst the red/yellow apples. The wine is well balanced with small bubbles, store at least 5 maybe 10 years for the wine to reach another level of richness. A 60% chardonnay and 40% pinot noir. Price wordy!

A very pricewordy wine from Janasse, seems that each year is working good. Fantastic fruitiness with smooth tannins and a very complex structure that works perfect with a real good stake, lamb or game, but this time we had a cheese plate with Taleggio, Brie and Appfentzeller, Excellent!

Still high acidity and very fruity, works best with a nice steak and why not a parmesan cheese. Can be stored another 5 - 10 years.

A very prise wordy Sauvignon Blanc from Roussilion-Languedoc, white flowers, lime, green grass, cedar and a hint of pepper on the nose. The wine has a very good balance of acidity , the lime and petrol touch goes very well with Asian or Japanese food such as Sushi or fish with a touch of lime grass.

A tip, try this with the Danish Lakrids Salt & Caramel ��������

OK to drink but not on the expected level for a wine of 152 Swedish kronor.

Rather high acidity, red apple, grape and some oak on the nose. On the palate very crispy with rather high acidity with a lot of red grape taste. If this high acidity would calm down this wine would be much better and score higher due to a rather low cost, but this is not going to age in time in my cellar since I think that 10 years is not enough.
Red
Heavy, a bit smokey cigarrillo, rubber and gravel smell. Smooth and surprisingly fresh on the palate but this is not my Pinot Noir, far too young and maybe not something that would gain from storage, I'm doubtful. The price in Swedish kronor was 160, close to 16 €, not valuable for that price.
Red
A very special smell of rubber and tar, though very soft, leather and pepper. Smooth, almost without tannins.
