Flawed bottle which had been left out in a warm room in Singapore for 2+ years. On the nose surprisingly promising showing mature earthy and leafy claret notes with a touch of stewed dark fruits. Palate not undrinkable, but with some harsh notes of matchstick on the finish, betraying its poor storage. Stewed cherry and cassis with a mature leafy undertone. Still good acidity. Overall this was tolerable to drink and I was happy to try it. I imagine it would be a pretty decent mature claret if stored correctly!

Mørke bær, men ikke så veldig kratig. Godt integrerte tanniner. Lang. Kanskje litt over topp, savner litt fruktighet eller tyngde, men for all del, en god vin.

Fully developed, the wine is medium-bodied and loaded with tobacco, wet earth, forest floor and red pit fruits. On the palate, the wine is a bit old school rustic with a bright red plum and cranberry edge along with a touch of herbs and earth in the finish. There is no reason to hbold this any longer.

Alderspreget forsiktig lukt av mørk frukt.

Pleasant but past it’s prime. Time to drink up.
