Très bon mais un peu plus alcooleux que le 2008

Black cherry in colour: thick core.
Mossy bramble fruits on the nose - showing just a little age. Blackberries, blueberries, pretty powerful.
Black fruits, cherries and blueberries in the mouth. Dusty. a lingering sour fruit finish

Nose of deep bramble fruits and blueberries with some herbs; a touch of pink peppercorns; later, more cassis and a touch of dampness.
Black fruits on the palate - dry, sour and a little spicy. Some blueberry muffin perhaps. A sour black fruit finish with a lingering peppery note. Layers of flavour but not all delineated at the moment. Good tannins. After a while in the glass, more cassis comes through

Tobakk og plomme på nese. Tobakk, litt spinkel frukt, noe urter. Frisk og lang. Pen vin som trenger 3-5 år til.

No detailed note... very deep burgundy. Green leaves on the nose with blackberries and some sour fruit. Black fruit flavours (berries and currants) - rich fruits but with big tannins that are currently getting in the way and suggest this needs a few more years
