July 12, 2023 - N. Cooked berries, earthy notes, moss, herbs,
T. Good acidity, the wine is aging very nicely. Wonderful marmelade/jam taste, hints of dryed strawberry, complex and balanced; long finish with green notes, flintstone and bitterness , quite interesting.
I bought this wine at the vineyard nearly ten years ago, what a pleasant journey it made. Hopefully not the last bottle, need to check in my cellar in Germany…
Warning: the journey is nearly over, the wine goes down after 30 minutes and the acidity decreases, wine starts to bore you… DRINK NOW 😅

February 16, 2015 - Enkel og rett fram Barbera, fruktig smak av røde bær, god syre, svært lite tannin, ikke særlig interressant men god vin.
