May 10, 2024 - Dekantert. Nydelig vin, herlig frukt, tanniner og syre hvor de skal være. Balanse. Den var verd å vente på!
Ikke dum dag 2, meget pen, men litt mindre fokus og kraft. Men klager ikke!1 person found this helpful Comment -

January 29, 2024 - What a pleasure to open this 2009 in such a perfect evolutive spot.
Opened 3 hours in advance, just poring a little wine to open the neck of the bottle. No decanting. Served in Zalto Burgundy stem to let the wine express itself.
A nose opening with secondary scents of mature red and black berries, sage, and rosemary, a touch of china an liqorice. Slight balsamic in the end.
during the evening it showed the more tertiary notes, getting a bit more earthy.
Complex and with many layers rising one after the other.
Velvet mouthfeel assisted by a nice a acidity. Very elegante tannins which were well integrated.
A great showing for this 20093 people found this helpful Comment -
