  This wine is now on its final home straight although it will be a long home run as there is plenty structure left. Need a 3 hour decant and just enjoy it over a 3 hour period.
  
  Ruby red, it was very closed and chunky upon opening with minimal fruits. As the night progressed, it became much more integrated, developing elegance, depth and length. Certainly Merlot dominant in terms of profile but the cabernet franc did not play second fiddle. A worthy wine for those who enjoy aged Bordeaux.
  
  Drink now to 8 years.

  Moreller, tobakk, plommer på nese. Langt tørrere i munnen. Litt tråe tanniner, ikke topp kons, men sødmefull deilig frukt. Svært lang og belansert. 92

  Perfect fill, cork a little elevated but only saturated about 1/3. This wine smelled a bit stewed on opening but really improved with air, then back to roasted in the decanter and finally into balance again. I’ve scarcely seen such an evolution with air
  
  At the end of the day, this is a wine whose best days must be behind it, and yet, with enough oxygen, it remains a delight. Somewhere between stewed tomato and bitter chocolate, with brick red fruit and a little mint, these should be drunk without remorse

  Pretty much everything I dislike in winemaking especially given the price point. No sense of place. This could have been from anywhere. Super disappointing as this producer came highly recommended by some.
