April 28, 2024 - Incredible, still fruity, but more complex. Leather, herbs, red fruits. Exceptional.

April 10, 2024 - Juicy og aromatisk med en herlig fruktsødme.
En skikkelig krydder-smoothie.
Begynner å nå en viss modning nå, men tar flere år i kjelleren på strak arm.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 7, 2024 - The cork was just a little stained at the bottom, a bit fragile as a piece fell into the bottle upon popping. Decanted for one hour. Vibrant nose of funk and barnyard with some red fruit. Medium bodied, smooth and supple, delivering surprisingly vibrant tart red fruit/berries with great barnyard/brett and funky notes carried by excellent acidity and smooth tannins. Felt overall still quite youthful but seems to be in a great spot now. A stunning wine.

February 29, 2024 - Small dinner with large pours (Ariana II): A bit of, what? As soon as a fellow diner points it out...TCA. Corked corked corked corked corked. Most vexing. Not least as it was my wine and I'd left my planned backup bottle on the kitchen table when leaving the house. Grrr.

February 28, 2024 - BWC Pot Pourri at Ariana II (Ariana 2, Kilburn, London): Sadly low level but persistent TCA. Underneath lurks a nice wine.
