March 27, 2020 - Nose is expressive with black currants, coffee and vanilla. At first quite primary and fruity with high acidity. It went well with some grilled strip loin steak marinated in red chili, herbs, garlic.
With some air, the nose is even more delish but at the same time, the balance feels more out of whack. Acidity is too hard and pronounced in my view, alcohol stings a little and the oak régime is perhaps a bit too much for the fruit. I think this is a wine that is best enjoyed early on (say two years ago) with some bbq or grilled burgers. -

March 10, 2020 - Doften är fruktig och tydlig svarta vinbär slår emot en! Sen finns både röd och grön av paprika och grönt tjockt gräs men också eneträ, lätt omogna björnbär och lätt syrade körsbär. Också något artificiellt av barndomens hostmedicin, vinylskiva och backelit samt bruna halstabletter.
Efter två timmar tillkommer spritiga bär och tobaksblad
Smaken ger också svarta vinbär, omogna körsbär, en- och granskott, syrligt och ganska enkelspårigt.
”Skrikigare” än väntat för en tio år gammal oceanisk Cab S.
Efter två timmar något mer rondör, med inslag av något mörkare bär och tendens till viss rökighet.
Jag måste vara ärlig och tyvärr säga att jag funderar på val mellan ”är den här flaskan helt ok” eller ”det här var inte ett lika bra vin som jag hoppats”.
Jag tror tyvärr på det senare.
