Monday, December 30, 2013 - Wine Koop in Umeå flexing early muscles (Hemmavid (Umeå, North of Sweden)): This is a prodigious wine of proportions. A wine that will blossom and bloom like a fireworks display over the years. Has all the marks of a GREAT young Bordeaux: earth, power, tannin, long-life-ahead, acids, red fruit, dark fruit... Jaw dropping.
Insanely attractive and rewarding, but still very young and without having unleashed any of its yet subterrainean potential.
Wife: 92p
3 btls to go, next one around 2025.

Gott Nytt år!!

This is a truly great wine in the making and we are so much looking forward to the future pleasures from this wine.
God fortsättning och njut kvällens bubblor!
