December 8, 2022 - Cherry, strawberry, and orange supported by cinnamon, tobacco, cardamom, oriental spices, rose potpourri, and tar. Plenty of fruit, plenty of acid, plenty of finegrained tannins reminiscent of those of a fine tea. Sounds like a beast, but somehow it is elegant and intense rather than powerful. A Barolo lover's Barolo, with a unique sense of place. Thrilling now, especially on day two, and will be good for another 20+ years from now. Wow!

January 25, 2019 - Feeling like upgrading this 1point, enjoyed half a bottle over 2-3hours, this was showing great now, with a little swirl loads of fruits is still hiding inside the glass, doesn't feel the age, in a lovely drinking spot, not yet mature but open for business, the nose has hints of sweetness, fruit still in control, the palate has a soft tannin, mid palate feels a little less powered than what it should be, medium body rather than full, this caps the potential in my opinion, but still a very enjoyable drink and absolutely a bargain for the money, specially compared to Burgundy

December 11, 2018 - Pretty wine is the perfect description, this bottle is starting to drink quite nicely now but it needs time to come out, i opened it at 6:30pm and left it in the bottle at 16-17 degrees, then started serving at 8:30pm, but it only really started to come out with a bit of swirling in the glass around 9:30pm, very gentle nose, fruit still live, but hints of secondary note, very territorial, notes of earth, but not the austerity you find in more important wines, very well balanced on the palate, good tannin structure, overall a well balanced bottle that I would have again and again, missing the WOW effect but a nice drink, very well priced.. and maybe with another 5-10yr in the bottle this can surprise positively

April 20, 2012 - 278 NOK. Aleine heime med andebryst i tankene. Sur/søt lukt med litt løsemiddler. Søtlig anslag, elegant midtparti. Litt rufsete tobakk avslutning. Litt tilkneppet rett etter åpning. god vin men litt anonym
