  November 14, 2021 - Lovely as always when aged for a few years. Moderate ruby in the glass. Dark fruit is dominant on the nose coming out in forms of black cherry, plum, blackberry. Some blackcurrant leaf, turmeric and garam masala in the background with just a lick of sweet spices. The palate is rich with soft tannins, high acidty and a moderate alcohol. Goes down like a charm.

  October 2, 2021 - Decanted an hour before.
  This definitely has the same qualities i usually look for in a burgundy-bottle. The ripe berries and oak are well balanced but there is a slight hint of too much green bitternes from start. After some time in the glass as well it faded.
  Day 2. A bit more jammy but the green bitterness is totally gone.
  
  Worth 500 SEK (around 50 €)? Yes, a few times It's very enjoyable.

  May 31, 2021 - Pinot Noir Zoom tasting. Tasted semi-blind. Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Appearance is cloudy, pale intensity, ruby colour with very thin garnet rim. Legs.
  Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of Burgundian-like funk earth, rocky stony minerality, nicely ripe red cherries, red plum, hint of emerging sous bois, whole cluster stems mint. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol, medium- tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet ripe red cherries, red plum, integrated light toast oak, woody fresh sous bois earth, lots of rocky stony minerality, background of salty savoury meat. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Excellent Pinot Noir that hits the sweet spot for my palate style preference. Complex. More evolved than expected for a 2016 but thats the way it is with these wines.
