P&p. For sub-$20 this is fine. No surprises here; crushed berries/violets, fairly well integrated coffee-ish oak, dry earth, just a hint (thankfully no more) of chocolate, with good acidity and general freshness. Medium strength tannins provide additional structure. Cohesive, balanced, tasty, easy to drink; not exactly interesting or compelling or big on depth, but perfectly serviceable.
Side-note: I don't find this lacking in fruit as someone did in another note; thankfully it is far from a fruit bomb, but I find plenty of juicy, fresh, berry-ish fruit. So maybe there's some bottle variation.

will not revisit. Muted fruit on an otherwise technically well made wine. Just lacked any fruit layers.

Dyp mørkerød tett farge. Duft av kjeller, bjørnebær, eik, lakris, sjokolade, tobakk. Smak bløt og fin, middels syre og tanniner, rått kjøtt, sviske, sjokolade, fennikel. Deilig peisvin! Drikkeklar, men tåler greit 3-5 år.
