Community Tasting Notes 17

    March 27, 2020 - - Garnet color with slow forming legs. It's lacking fruit and has flavours of cloves and dusty with a light/medium body. Silky texture with a medium finish - Definitely a bit beyond its years but smoothness on second glass started to appear. The strawberry jam has become faint but nose still inviting. Serve a saucy Italian dish and enjoy the fading fruit.

    October 5, 2016 - Smokey nose, with also some mocha, is decent. But mouth is faded, not much fruit left. Finish somewhat short, lacking structure. Some oak tannins noticeable in the finish, particularly at cellar temperature. Would like to have experienced more acidity on the finish.

    August 16, 2015 - Lots of berry flavors in an easy to drink format. Very tasty, but not a blockbuster.

    December 17, 2013 - Camphor and strawberry on the nose; sour cherry and a jammy/raisiny note on the palate, with some drying tannins on the finish. This has good fruit up front and decent acidity at the finish, but not much in between. A bottle a few years ago was much fresher and better. It seems like the heat of the vintage is showing through more as the wine integrates -- not a good thing. If I had any more of these, I would drink them right away.

    November 1, 2013 - Doft av körsbär, hallon och plommon. Smaken domineras av körsbär och hallon. Vinet är i mitt tycke alldeles för tunt känns som utspädd saft med viss syra i. Vinet blir sedan bättre till maten men är fortfarande inget som får mig att gå igång. Drack det här vinet för över ett år sedan och hade liknande tankar runt vinet då.
