September 3, 2024 - Leather. Dark dark fruit. Insanely smooth tannins. Extremely balanced, and very tasty cherry finish. Shocked it was 2004. Imagine how good this will be in 5 years?

July 4, 2024 - Cork was in great shape, a bit stained at the bottom. Decanted for half an hour. Rather subdued on the nose showing a bit pungent dark fruit, and a hint of spice and leather. Medium bodied, smooth and supple, still quite youthful, delivering good dark fruit with resolving but still firm tannins, and subtle notes of oak and a hint of tobacco. Very solid but lacking perhaps the wow-factor. Can still hold for many years.

December 25, 2023 - Aroma av søt tobakk, roseblader og tørket røde bær. Behagelig syre og helt myke tanniner. Lang smak som sitter godt, Delikat vin.
