  Madness and mayhem in Spöland (Spöland, North Sweden): Day 2:
  Coconuts are gone, thank God.
  But still not my cup of tea.

  A little nutty and burnt sherry taste with lots of coconut. A little sweet but long and good. Surprisingly good despite all the coconut.

  9/17/2021 - StefanAkiko Does not like this wine:

  Some olde sheite SS + ME (Umeå): Upon plop: 91p
  Blackish red with deep bricking. Towards brown.
  The Australian take on Bassett's All Sorts, minty, coconut, asphalt, panfried eggs and many other things.
  This is a lot to chew. Ridiculously rich and imposing. Long, complex and finishing with Oloroso overtones. Acidity slightly low. Tannins still boldly present.
  
  After air: 79p
  Glögg (glühwein) and Oloroso over coconut shavings. Not for me.
  
  Low acidity and jolmigt.

  This really has held up well, I really wanted it to be special. It did not disappoint.
  
  Still has the acid, the evolved dark fruits, a hint of caramel. Tobacco and vanilla on the finish, with a very fine tannins.
  
  It leaves you feeling happy, which is pretty fucking good.

  7/24/2014 - henrygjeffreys Likes this wine:

  t. orange at the rim with red core
  initially I thought it smelled very much like claret - a little leafy, some pencil shavings and tobacco
  quite light-bodied, some very supple tannin
  real fragrance here, very fresh,
  Tobacco, vanilla and leather on the finish
  A point
  I came back to this a bit later and it suddenly hit me what it reminded me of, a really good rioja like a La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva: elegance and freshness wrapped up in lots of American oak.
  Gorgeous wine.
