Red fruits, roses, tea, licorice. Magically good. Very balanced with sandy, fine tannins and robust fruit. The acidity is incredible. Long, fine aftertaste with lots of herbs and licorice. This is a wine that will only get better with time. Incredible vintage and producer.

1/30/2024 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Dark berries, chocolate, oak, vanilla, and coffee. Better balanced than a year ago. The oak feels calmer, but there are very heavy oak barrels here; much of the flavor seems more influenced by the winemaking than the grape. Lower acidity than other Bordeaux wines, perhaps due to a dominance of Merlot? Nevertheless, a good wine that probably can handle a few more years in the cellar.

1/21/2024 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Red berries with raspberry and strawberry in the forefront. A light smoky tone with earth and pepper. Juicy and very tasty and refreshing. No noticeable tannins and a well-balanced and easy-drinking wine with a freshness that pairs perfectly with a chicken dish.

1/18/2024 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Cherries, roses, rose hips, spices, licorice.
A delightful and fresh Barolo with high acidity and beautiful fruit. The tannins are finely polished, offering no resistance but still providing structure. A long finish with plenty of licorice. Overall, a very good wine with excellent aging potential.

Red fruits mixed with some dark fruit in black currants. High acidity and quite sharp tannins, a bit thin on fruit, almost feels a bit austere and not as balanced as 2020. This needs to rest for a few years before the next bottle, hoping for improvement.

1/3/2024 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Plum, blackberry, black currant, coffee, oak, licorice, olive tapenade, eucalyptus, coconut, vanilla, dark chocolate. Incredibly concentrated explosive fruit accompanied by a well-balanced acidity. So unbelievably complex, dense, and insanely good wine. A lingering aftertaste that lasts forever and numerous flavors emerging gradually. Magical.

Dark cherries, oak, blood orange, and vanilla. A delightful sweetness and completely integrated tannins. Everything is perfectly balanced, with the oak harmonizing with herbs and more complex flavors of red fruits and perfect acidity. A truly excellent wine!

12/15/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Dark sweet plums and blueberries. Incredibly elegant with large, fresh fruits and good acidity. Velvety tannins, integrated oak, and everything falls into place with a long, complex finish of tobacco, licorice, and dark chocolate. Top notch!

11/18/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Oak, vanilla, blue fruit, dill, herbs, and licorice. Heavy concentrated fruit with a substantial oak presence, yet the oak is finely balanced with plum fruit and tannins. Not extremely high in acidity, and perhaps not a wine for 10 years of aging, but a well-crafted and reasonably priced wine.

11/18/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Green apples, citrus, mineral, vanilla. Fresh citrus acidity with a slightly oily sensation, a touch of vanilla and honey, and plenty of stone and mineral notes. A fairly long finish with green apples. A really good wine.

11/17/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Strawberries, raspberries, herbs, earth, licorice with a smoky aroma. Elegant, tight without much tannins, and inspired by Burgundy. Not juicy like some New World wines, but high acidity with a hint of stemminess, featuring lots of herbs and licorice in the long aftertaste. Well-crafted!

11/12/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Pear, diesel, tropical fruit, and honey. Sharp, yet wonderful acidity, almost a bit effervescent on the tip of the tongue. The sweetness meets the acidity in a really nice way, making it an overall excellent value for money wine.

11/6/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Blueberry, plum, vanilla, oak, and some herbs. Gentle tannins, sleek and cool fruit with a nicely balanced acidity. Objectively, it might score a bit lower, but right now, this is exactly the grape I want to drink. Wonderfully tasty, especially considering the price.

11/1/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Lemon, mineral, green apples, lemon zest. Some bitterness despite the absence of oak. Fine and crisp acidity, but a bit thin on fruit. Salinity and mineral notes in the finish. Lacks complexity and not quite worth its price.

10/28/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Big, bombastic blue fruit with plums leading the way. Eucalyptus, vanilla, oak, and chocolate. The acidity and fruit aren't completely in balance; the fruity sweetness takes over a bit too much for my taste. But if you're looking for a big, fruity barbecue wine, you've found it here. I could probably have guessed Zinfandel blindly given the fruity sweetness, chocolate, and coffee in the aftertaste.

10/28/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Pineapple, mango, oak, vanilla, and minerals. Fresh fruit with quite a significant influence of oak barrels. Decent acidity. Reminiscent of By Farr's, but with more oak and less acidity. A good wine that should, however, wait a few more years for the next bottle.

10/20/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Cherries with hints of mature notes. Oak, dust, licorice, and herbs. The tannins are starting to soften and integrate very nicely. This wine is beginning to gain a few points. It might even go up another point when the oak is fully integrated.

10/7/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Sweet red fruits with cherries and blood orange in the forefront, incredibly elegant with perfect acidity and integrated tannins. A well-balanced oak tone with herbs and vanilla, and a long finish with sweet licorice. I can't even imagine how this will be in 10 years. Outstanding!

9/24/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Black currant, oak, licorice, coffee, chocolate, alcohol, eucalyptus. Elegant with fine acidity and sandy tannins. Some alcohol warmth in the aftertaste, but certainly not bothersome. Rather, it adds a eucalyptus sensation. Lots of fruit and acidity, but perhaps a bit too prominent oak that could make this wine even better with a few more years in the cellar, but it's already really good now.

9/17/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Strawberries, lingonberries, oak barrel, vanilla, smoke, earth.
Refreshing and crisp with very few tannins, high acidity, and a medium-length finish. Nothing stands out. Not overly complex, but a good wine for the price.

9/9/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Blueberries, blackberries, oak, vanilla, coffee, dark chocolate. Wow. What a wine. Incredibly smooth with concentrated blue fruit and velvety tannins, complemented by amazing acidity and integrated oak notes, finishing long with coffee and dark chocolate. It's sure to improve with aging, but I don't quite understand how. Wonderful and ready to drink now.

9/4/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Tropical fruit, honey, rubber, lime, and pineapple. Quite a bit of sweetness from tropical fruits, yet still dry and crisp. Well-balanced with a long finish that leans towards pineapple and a hint of mineral saltiness.

9/4/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Dark cherries, plums, black currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, herbs. Incredibly complex and elegant wine of the highest quality. Balanced acidity and fine tannins. Long aftertaste with plenty of herbs and licorice. On day two, it is absolutely outstanding.

9/1/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Cherries, licorice, herbs, dust, smoke. A slightly darker version of Nebbiolo with sandy tannins and high acidity, yet well-balanced, smooth, and delicious. It opens up after a couple of hours in the glass and pairs nicely with Gnocchi with bacon and kale.

8/26/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Cherry pits, herbs, vanilla, oak, gravel road, dust. Well-balanced and developed. The fruit starts to thin out a bit, and more mature tones take over. Complex with a long finish. Still sharp tannins and nice acidity. Paired excellently with mushroom risotto.

8/19/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Oak, vanilla, plum, eucalyptus, coffee, chocolate. Fresh dark fruit, large and bombastic with a lot of mint. I miss a bit of acidity after opening, but on day two, it's more elegant. The oak might not be fully integrated yet, but a few more years in the cellar should elevate the wine a couple of notches. A really good wine with substantial tannins. Perfectly pairs with a large barbecue dinner.

8/19/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Red fruit, earth, pepper, burnt sugar. Smooth, juicy wine of high quality. Fine acidity and absent tannins, incredibly refreshing 'New World Pinot' at its peak with the classic Pinot notes.

8/6/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Green apples, citrus, and tropical fruit. Fresh fruit and crisp acidity. Delicious, elegant, and well-made wine with no bitterness, perfectly suited for schnitzel with citrus, capers and fries.

7/29/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

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.

7/27/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Dark fruits, both red and black currants, oak, vanilla, and smoke. Incredibly smooth and elegant wine with perfect acidity and velvety tannins in remarkable harmony, leading to a long finish. Much closer to Bordeaux than Napa. It will likely improve with time, but I find it fantastic already.

7/25/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Fresh dark fruit with a lot of oak, herbs, and coffee. Substantial tannins and vibrant acidity make it not as smooth as some wines from the southern Rhône, but still juicy and enjoyable, a good wine with excellent qualities.
The oak notes are quite pronounced, which might soften a bit with some aging.

7/23/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

"Pear, yellow apples, grapefruit, and subtle hints of vanilla. It lacks the buttery texture and the acidity isn't very high, and I suspect that much of the grapefruit bitterness comes from the oak barrels. I'll save my next bottle for a couple of years and see how it develops. Not quite worth the price for me at the moment."

7/22/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Pear, citrus, tropical fruit, petroleum and mineral notes. Wonderfully crisp with refreshing acidity and perfectly ripe fruit. Truly excellent for the price and pairs perfectly with mildly spicy dishes on a warm summer day.

7/21/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Blueberries, oak, vanilla, coffee, herbs, licorice. Pronounced acidity and slightly aggressive tannins. Still, quite complex for a Zinfandel with a long finish, and it's evident that it's a high-quality wine. It probably needs a few more years in the cellar to reach its full potential because currently, it's a bit too intense.

7/17/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Citrus, apple, white fruit, and oak. Well-balanced and wonderfully delicious. The oak is beautifully integrated, and the acidity is perfect. A few years in the cellar will likely bring out more butter and nutty flavors as it's currently very young and fruity, but still amazingly tasty.

7/16/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Cherry pits, oak, vanilla, herbs, licorice. Some mature notes with a brick-colored edge. Incredibly good with a fresh acidity, big tannins, and integrated oak. Complex and very elegant wine with a long finish. Could probably cellar for a long time.

7/15/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Dark berries, oak, vanilla, chocolate, eucalyptus. Nice acidity and moderate tannins. Fairly concentrated fruit and well-balanced.

7/13/2023 - Ennels Does not like this wine:

Some cherries, loads of artificial oak with vanilla. Sour, unbalanced, don't know if it's the acidity or tannins pulling at the mouth. Bitter aftertaste and not particularly pleasant at all.

7/6/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Fresh red and blue fruits, oak, vanilla and spices. An incredibly well-balanced wine. World-class acidity combined with silky smooth tannins in perfect harmony. The oak is beautifully integrated, and the entire package has a nice structure. The high acidity, along with the youthful fruit, leads me to suspect that this wine will age well in the cellar. Top-class.

Dark fruit, oak, vanilla, and chocolate. Uncomplicated with few tannins and decent acidity and an artificial aftertaste. Not many layers of flavors BUT for the price, still a good wine. There are wines that cost 50% more and taste considerably worse.

7/3/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Immature strawberries, oak, truffle, earth, spices, and stemminess. Some classic pinot noir markers, but with acidity that is slightly too high, along with fine tannins, it has the potential to become good with a few years in the cellar, but currently feels a bit unbalanced.

7/1/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Petroleum, tropical fruit, pear and pineapple. A slight hint of mineral, an incredibly fine acidity with a sweetness that makes the wine well-balanced without any bitterness whatsoever. The residual sweetness makes it a perfect match for Asian dishes with a bit of spiciness.

7/1/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Lemon, apples, peach, oak, and minerals. Fresh, dry with a crisp acidity that holds everything together nicely. A medium-long finish with a touch of grapefruit bitterness at the end.

Dark berries, plums, vanilla, licorice, oak, chocolate.
Fine tannins with good acidity. In the initial attack, some sweetness also emerges without becoming jammy. Medium-bodied with a fairly long finish. The oak bitterness in the finish is slightly too pronounced for my taste.

6/24/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Strawberries, earthy, mineral, smoke, pepper. Doesn't smell dissimilar to a pinot noir. Cooling, refreshing with almost no tannins, but a fresh acidity and very easy to drink. A good wine with flavors that are not entirely uncomplicated. Delicious.

6/17/2023 - Ennels Likes this wine:

Dark fruit, oak, meat, pepper and black olives. Classic northern Rhône on the nose. Fairly decent tannins, but just the right amount of acid and properly adjusted oak but the fruit feels a little too thin and not particularly concentrated. Lasts at least 3-4 more years in the cellar.

Plommon, mörk frukt, cigarrlåda, eukalyptus, choklad. Stor, fruktig och rätt bombastisk. Dock en väldigt elegant syra som gör att hela paketet håller ihop otroligt fint. Eken fint integrerad med måttliga tanniner och sammantaget ett riktigt, riktigt fint vin.

Grönt äpple, tropisk frukt, grapefrukt, lime, mineral och sten. Frisk syra men något urvattnad frukt. Grapefrukt dominerar i avslutet. Helt okej för priset.

Otroligt juicigt med en liten kryddig ton med touch av ek. Fint avvägd syra och nästan inga tanniner alls. Sjukt elegant, välgjort och gott.
