This bottle was stored upright for a period of time years ago and may have dried out. The cork broke and was very dry. The wine smells of cork, but not TCA. That said...
It's pretty delicious! Silky on the palate with just enough tannin and acidity for food. Drink now+ 89

Spent a period of time stored upright and the cork crumbled upon removal. I'm hoping this isn't a representative bottle. This is too old and filled with road tar and hot gravel with raspy tannins. fingers crossed for next bottle.

This is still quite youthful, and I would guess (I don't have a long track record with this wine) not yet at full maturity. Scorched earth, minerals and black fruits in nose. Medium-full bodied and delicious. This is a bit rugged, but not in a bad way. Craggy tannin and sharp acidity makes the wine refreshing rather than hard. Drink now-2025+ 90

Farge: Kraftig, med fiolett skjær Duft: Hint av plomme (kraftigere etter en stund) Smak: Noe surkirsebær og bjørnebær. Brukte litt tid på å åpne seg. Blir kraftigere etter hvert. Er sannsynligvis over toppen og begynt på retur.

Deep violet colour. Aromatic with notes of plums, dark berries, cocoa, chocolate and spices. Quite rich, and slightly warm. A very good buy in it's price range.
