  The wine is clear and bright with a medium garnet colour. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium(+) intensity aromas of dark fruits (dark plums) with herbal notes (black tea, thym, anise) and oak (cedar, clove). The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium(+) acidity. It has medium(+) slightly coarse tannins and a medium(+) alcohol. It has a medium(+) body and medium(+) intensity flavours of dark fruits (dark plums) with herbal notes (black tea, thym, anise) and oak (cedar, clove). The finish is medium(+).
  
  It is a very good quality wine. It has a long enough finish to be more than good, and the balance between tannins, alcohol and acidity compensates very well the concentrated flavours. However, despite having some complexity provided by herbal notes and oak ageing, a better example of this style would be even more complex. Can drink now, but it has enough acidic and tannic structure, and enough fruit concentration, to develop some more complex tertiary aromas over the next 3-5 years.

  Bit too plummy for me. Tobacco and plum on the nose. Even more plum on the palate. Very fleshy. Just OK.

  Vinen har moderat intensitet på duft som ga mer på dag to, selv om den føles noen sjenert i dag også. Floral, søte moreller, jordbær og noen lette fattoner. Vinen har en klar og tydelig fruktighet. Trygg på seg selv er den. Moden søt frukt med smak av mørke moreller og kirsebær. Friskheten holder den deilige frukten på plass og vinen har derfor en flott balanse. Vinen har en lett og fin tanninstruktur som inviterer til noe kjøtt på grillen. Eller pizza som sto på vårt program. Tåler sine 14% meget godt.

  Great purity and freshness. Dried cherries, rose petals and tobacco. This will age for a long time.
