February 24, 2024 - Aired for 20 min, and got berries and licorice on the nose.
Tannins are smooth and structured.
On the plate: leather tones.
Edit: day 2 - 1/2 bottle left i greet a more open wine and enjoyable wine.
Conclusion: decant this one for an hour or two. -

February 17, 2024 - Fin St. Emilion med modne tanniner, fin frukt med plommer, bjørnebær, litt lakris. Typisk St. Emilion!

December 24, 2023 - Good blend of primary, secondary and some tertiary notes. Plum, oak spice, tobacco and leather. Tannins are quite smooth by now.

November 27, 2023 - All fruit had left the bottle, almost bitter on the palate. Tried through several hours of airaition, but little to no improvement as time passed.
