It has improved greatly over the last year. Today it is not astrigent or unpleasant in the mouthfeel. Today it is powerfull in the nose, but without any significant aromas except maybe a little graphite and a little earthy. But it is still not very expresive.
The taste is pleasant but a little anonymous. A little sour cherries and a little dark fruit. It is still to anonymous, but has improved significantly the last year, and I look forward to following the development over the next 5-8 years

After 30 minutes og air, it improved significantly!!! Great balance right now, and the taste is so much more clear compared with a year ago. Blackberries, blueberries, overripe cherries and perhaps a hint of something smokey

Super nice, semi-clear colour with a slight brown hue at the edge.
In the nose, I get wood, liquorice, and a little cherry.
It has a lot of acid, and super nice and subtle tannins. In the mouth, you taste more fruit than in the nose and this is the dominating taste.
I am looking forward to see this develop over the next 5-10 years
