April 27, 2023 - 11 years from harvest and still alive and kicking with all the best that Merlot can offer. Dark berries (black currant, plum, prune), sour milk, subtle cedar, tobacco, and with a little time in the glass the liquorice notes come to the forefront. High acidity. Very, very nice.
I have one bottle left, and that will be kept in the cellar for a few more years. -

January 1, 2023 - Interesting nose of warm red and black fruits, licorice, flowers, new oak and spice. Full-bodied, this has an excellent phenolic structure. Mouth-coating, this has plenty of dark fruits and spice on the palate as well. I think this wine is best drunk within about 5-6 years from release, that said this is quite delicious! Should hold for several more years. 92

May 18, 2022 - Beautiful nose of blackberry preserves and vanilla-tinged oak as well as hints of spice ad violets. This is med-full bodied, but round and rich on the palate. Just loaded with sweet black and blueberry fruit preserves, anise and other Asian spices. In a beautiful place right now! Drink now-2027 93

May 17, 2021 - Mycket av allt och bra balanserat. Svarta vinbär/mörka bär, vanilj, choklad, ceder i lång eftersmak. Mkt god - troligen på topp nu efter 9-10 år.
