Mulig det var fordi det var litt sent på kvelden? Men plutselig virker det som at denne har gått fra å være litt grov og rustikk til å bli helt fløyel. Veldig god var den! Drukket backstage med Sunturns på Parkteatret.

This bottle made it to the top of my 'for the chop' list after I read a note from William Kelley recently suggesting it was quite vulnerable to spoilage. I can see why, as it's definitely very low-intervention in style, with a touch of Brett and a definite cideryness. That aside, the wine was pretty nice underneath all of that, with some flowers and lots of juicy red-fruited acidity. The finish had persistence and astringency as well as a touch of the mousiness that WK noted. Don't see this becoming a repeat purchase.

You can sense the ripeness of the vintage, but this is still so under control and elegant. This bottle is completely clean. Has improved since my last bottle a year ago.

I agree with Karlsenrm's note (at least what google translate tells me it says). I'd add that my bottle had a lot of shpritz - but it dissipated in an hour or so. Really nice wine on night one. Felt pretty off balance on night two.

Bringebær rød med nesten litt lilla preg, ikke helt transparent. Knuste vill bringebær, markjordbær, rips, mineralitet, solbærblad. Frisk syre, prikker på tunga nesten godteri prikkete, så utrolig juicy, frisk og deilig, balansert.

On the nose: Darker berry notes, some stewed fruit notes, red berries. Secondary notes of spice and wood.
On the tongue: medium-medium plus acidity. Great length, tannins very minimal.
Lovely wine and will keep coming back to metras.

Delicious - deeper and darker than Metras usually is - there's a stewed plum note but remains elegant and transparent.

After the funk blows off, full of violet, cranberry and red cherry. 12.5% abv and no heat showing despite the warm vintage
