A bit too much TCA here. Otherwise, the aroma picture is intact. Old fashioned style, with tart mouth feeling and a dry finish. I guess this will last for several years still.

The previous bottle a couple of years ago showed signs of positive development. With this one everything is back on track: Forbiddenly tannic and austere, with high acidity. Cool aromas with wet stones. Wait five years with the last bottle and hope for the best.

I was expecting more from this bottle. The nose was fantastic. It smelled like beautiful right bank claret with a bit of age. However, the palate was hollow and tart -- predominantly sour cherries. The tannin has almost resolved, but the fruit isn't what it should be.

Mørk, relativt tett farge. Nese med mørke bær, jord, stall. Balansert, harmonisk og konsentrert i munnen, med god lengde. Riktig bra, igrunn.
