  In a good state now. Quite long, tannins have matured markedly. Fruit still very lively - lingonberry, young cherries - and quite high acidity. Highly drinkable now but could in a year or so move into new territory with more mature fruit.

  PnP i Zalto Bx og universal. Tydelig reduktiv lukt med parfymert bakteppe. Åpner opp etter noen minutter i glasse. Ferske tranebær, bringebær, narturvin, fast og sitronsyre-frisk avsluttning. Til pizza: veldig god til ramsløk-pizza. Fantastisk vin med fersk frukt som funkler innimellom. 1 dag i flaske: fin rein tranebær

  Decanted for 20 minutes, but still a bit tannic. It took about an hour in the decanter for the tannins to soften and the wine to come together. The wine was a bit hazy, with a light to medium ruby color. There were cherries and earth on the nose. The cherries and earth carried over to the medium to minus bodied palate, along with a touch of raspberry, and nicely balancing acidity. The decanter time really allowed the wine to harmonize. Should hold for another couple of years.

  I agree with Jeffyboy’s note totally. But I found this to be a remarkable wine. Cant wait to try the rest of the portfolio.
