Double-decanted. In a good spot with pure cab franc fruit with slight Brett funk note that is attractive. Not a wow wine, but very pleasurable. Drink over next 5 years.

Intense, earthy, tobacco, lead pencil, "dark minerals" as the reviewer below puts it well... and increasingly with time in the glass, juicy - but ever so slightly sour - dark brambly fruit, cranberries, violets...grippy but not aggressive tannins and a good spine of acidity. Just the slightest hint of bretty funk, but all for the good. This is fantastic! complex, protean, and long ...got better and better over the course of several hours after double decanting. Imagine this is just in the early stages of its prime & I'd wager it'll be singing in 20 years time. Drink or hold 94 +

Blåbær, noe funk – men ellers ganske så ren, ikke mye grønn paprika her. Lang og intens. Svakt kompleks. En virkelig god og vellaget vin som trenger tid.

Beautiful nose of blueberries, cherries and violet spice. Quite cool and crisp with lots of mouthwatering acidity and delicious flavors of black cherries and dark minerals. Really succulent and fresh with a grippy, somewhat chalky finish but also a fine elegance with this wonderful note of violet spice. Balanced and built for further aging. 91+

Bright red pinkish colour. Vanilla almonds wood and chalk. Big forward and linear. Tannins well wrapped in fruit.
