  Plenty of smoke and tar to the aroma. The palate is dense, with a core of dark fruit and notes of bitter chocolate and licorice. It is rich, with a long, chewy finish.

  2 hour decant; not nearly enough. This is just a wee baby and needs a lot more time.
  
  Dark dusty red cherries, licorice, and tar on a nose holding back from full potential. Tight and girthy, packed in densely showing only a glimmer of its potential. Long and tight; hard to know wheee this goes but certainly has the stuffing to relax into a subliminal wine but needs 5-10 years to do it. Very very adolescent. 91/92 but serious upside if it lands.

  detta vin har utvecklats åt fel håll, det är fortfarande extremt knutet och ger ifrån sig nästan ingen doft alls, smaken är bättre men det är extremt tight.

  Not as memorable as the one I opened in 2019. Perhaps in a awkward phase. Still pretty damn good and a great Christmas Eve treat.

  Ups and downs, In vino veritas (Tøyen, Oslo): Double decanted 3 prior to serving
  
  Dark and brooding, this turned out to be way too young. Aromas of blue fruit, tar and a hint of blood.
  
  Palate was a bit rough, no where near resolved tannins and a very dark profile, refusing to let the guard down.
  
  This will surely be great in time, but not too much fun for my taste tonight.
