Last bottle. Decanted an hour, Zalto universal. Still very dark. Fabulous nose where the elderberries and fir needles seem to have melted into a dark fragrance with smoke and dark berries and perhaps hints of bread crust and chocolate. Smooth and harmonious and lovely in the mouth, taking om asparagus, horse radish, smoky meat and lemon juice easily. When cool (say, 15 degrees) the acidity is not prominent, and the tannins are fine-grained with this porousness. Stunningly good, aging beautifully but far from old, still showing a great deal of freshness.

Clear, dark violet, medium legs. Menthol and some earth at first, then dark fruit, herbs and some oak. Reminded me of a Bordeaux on the nose. Acid, light body, light tannins, not particularly complex in the mouth. I like the stile, the wine and the producer, but this one is unfortunately past peak.

Drunk out of Zalto Universal glasses, no decanting. Immediately pleasing and full of loads of fresh fruit of a dark sort (still strong elements of elderberries), and an intriguing sourness, yet also showing what appears to be complete maturity in the sense that it doesn't need air to unfold nor seems to have much in reserve. Tannic finish. Lovely wine.

This is really good! Dense, saturated but in a balanced and non-oaked way showing aromas of elderberries and other dark fruits together with dust and very agreeable aged aromas. A lovely wine which, given the acidity level, seens to be ageing (or rather changeing) faster than I would have thought.
