March 13, 2017 - Crimson red colour. Plum, cherry and earth nose. Rich fruits on the palette, plums mostly. Good balance of tannins. Has aged well at 10 years.
January 6, 2016 - Nice Shiraz, but still plenty of tannins & heat from the alcohol - definitely a few more years left in this.
January 22, 2015 - Big, good food wine, a couple of years left in it
November 23, 2014 - Très correct, belle présence en bouche mais simple. À boire.
May 26, 2014 - Endelig! Rigtig fin vin, der har krævet nogen tid i kælderen. Udemærket duft af kirsebær, solbær samt toner af engelsk! lakrids. God, markant og let parfumeret smag af solbær, kirsebær og blommer samt anis/lakrids, peber og et lille strejf vanille i en fin mellemlang eftersmag. Gode og efterhånden bløde tanniner samt en let syre i afslutningen. Absolut ventetiden værd! og kan fortsat holde nogle år endnu. Nydt til oksebøffer på grillen.
October 12, 2013 - Deep red with light rim. Intense blackberry and cherry nose. Some soft licorice tones. Lots of jammy fruits on the palate. Somewhat on the fruity side. Good lenght. A bit heavy but really fruity stuff. Non- filtered and some sediments. Decant.
August 30, 2013 - Tired and faded with bitter finish. Maybe a bad seal on the screw cap?
March 3, 2013 - delicious, blueberry and a gamey quality. dense dark purple.
January 29, 2013 - I consistently find that this wine needs a few years to settle down to show its best. Lots of perfume and fruit. What has changed is the sweetness seems much more in balance with the secondary flavours now, and the acidity which tasted fake to me at one point now seems natural. Has a pure "delicious" character that will make you come back to the glass without seeming soulless.
August 19, 2012 - Blackberry, cherry and cocoa on the nose. The blackberry, cherry and cranberry combo practically detonates on the palate, along with a pervasive savoury quality. Once it subsides, there's a long finish of licorice, charcoal, dark chocolate, and a more medicinal version of that ol' blackberry. It's quite acidic and has rather grippy tannins. Even running it through an aerator two days after first opening it does not calm the fruit or tannin, but it does reduce the chocolate and savoury flavors. This isn't a great wine for food, but it did go well with mushrooms.
