Tasted next to 1999 and 2005. Darker compared to 1999, more backward and complex. Quite powerful. Good acidity, fruit and overall balance. Long. Slowly drink up. 91-93

Very dark ruby red leaning towards medium bright ruby at the edges and zero color degradation. Tons of sulpher and barnyard on the nose. Really bitter, if not sour, notes of reduced red raspberries. Unbelieveably intense fruit given the age. More interesting than good.

Dark garnet colour. Aromatic and mature nose; integrated and complex, dried currant, cafe mocha, mineral and earth. Rich, lush and textural palate with a great presentation of spicy tannins. Long, evolving finish. 5/5 1500mL bottle.

Tasted next to the 1999 and 2005. More balanced and harmonious than the 1999, but again a little bitter and heavy. The tannins are a bit angular. Dark, mineral, grippy. Lots of power. Good length, the alcohol is sticking out a little. 90-92

Tegelbrun, Smakrik, fruktig, intensiv, Björnbär, vanilj, choklad ej prisvärd, en Tamaral för halva priset ger mer för pengarna
