Fragrant bouquet and palate of ripe black fruits and plums, cocoa, cinnamon, star anise and clove. Dense and intense, medium-bodied structure. The texture is rounded which carried through from entry to a rich and clean finish. Need at least 2 hours of decanting. This will continue to age for the next 3-5 years.

Bjørnebær, kirsebær, fat, litt kjeller og vanilje. Myke taniner og lav syre, noe lukket frukt. Veldig drikkevennlig allerede, men usikker hvordan den takler kraftig mat! Planen var å ta ett glass med Coravin, men korken ga etter for trykket og løsnet. Åpner opp med mer syrlig frukt etterhvert, så trenger litt tid i karaffel før middag.

Pulled the cork on the bottle accessed by Coravin in November and drank over three days.
Consistent with the note of November. This delicate vintage did not deserve the oak the winemaker threw at it, which masks terroir and nuance.
The second and third days revealed the wine's likely character in a decade or so. Medium to medium plus acid, powdery and steely tannins, gripping finish of very good length.
Marginal improvement seems possible after five to seven years. Drink by 2035. Strong QPR...even with the lumber treatment. 92-93.

Less approachable than many of the '15s, this producer tends to need more time.
