  March 27, 2021 - Grym och stor näsa med Bdxjord, gnutta brett och kristallklara röda bär.
  
  I munnen är detta dock Plain Jane vinifierad. Polerad så pass att ingenting av personlighet återstår. Bra syra, ett litet valpbett av tanniner bra längd. Skriker Bdx med jordigheten. Kristallklara röda bär också på paletten. Men, det blir aldrig riktigt skoj...
  
  På CT skriker många att det är dött och har trillat utför ättestupan. Det är dock inte sant. Finns många års liv kvar, även om det knappast kommer utvecklas till ett spännande vin innan det når stadiet "avancerat".

  April 29, 2019 - Fully integrated. Not much tannins left. Earthy notes, soft and still holding up well. Drink up.
