  May 8, 2023 - The cork broke despite using Durand. Mute at the beginning but started to open up after 30 minutes in the decanter. Faded nose of leather and vestige of fruit. Still remarkable sweetness in the back end. Drink up now.

  March 12, 2023 - Overraskende mørk farge. Kjellerpreg i starten, fremstod nesten korket. Med luft strammer den seg opp, og får mer aroma av lær og tjære, deretter veldig røykpreg. Mye av frukten er borte, men fortsatt noe nedslipte tanniner. Litt underlig flaske, kanskje ikke helt optimal.

  March 11, 2023 - Brick reg color. Some off aromas in the beginning that reminded of cork. This disappeared after some time in the glass, and the wine appeared as a nicely developed Barolo with tar and smoke aromas in a light weighted style.

  March 4, 2021 - Mahogany in color. Almost blood orange at the edges. Translucent. A bit balsamic, sweet and aged, umami, fresh picked crimini mushrooms, most of the fruit is gone. Tannins are still holding on and acidity quite present. The aged balsamic hits immediately and never really fully fades. Finish is medium in length. This is good stuff.
