August 8, 2022 - I love this bottle of wine. A smooth drinking Zin that always seems to be reliable.
The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raspberry, red currant and cranberry. It tastes like raspberry, cranberry and prune. The body is medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity. -

October 21, 2017 - Medium ruby color. Blackberry, tobacco, cinnamon. Full body. Strong fruit and alcohol, medium-minus acidity, medium tannins. Lot of oak. Semi long finish. Had with roast beef, pepper sauce and oven baked root crops.

May 5, 2017 - Tror det er min 5 flaske, men første jeg rater. Fremstår dyb rød, med masser af bark og bær noter i næsen. I munden rigtig meget fad og solbær og kirsebær. Forholdsvis jammy og med lette tanniner. Fremstår balanceret, men husker den bedre sidste år.
I think it's my 5th bottle, but the first I rate. Deep ruby red, with lots of bark and berry in the nose. On the palate quite oaky with black currant and cherry dominating. Relatively jammy and with light tannins. Appears quite balanced, but I remember it the better last year. -

December 14, 2016 - The wine looks purple colored. There was no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry and blueberry. This wine was well balanced. It was flavorful without being jammy.
