  45min decant. A bit steely dirt and wood spice over dark cherries and hints of plum cought my attention from first sip. Finnish a bit tart and a bit unfocused had us wait until the crisy duck was served. Worked well with food. From around 1.5 h decant wine came more into its own, fruit showed better and better balance in finish. Some upside here for sure. 90-91p for now.

  Medium ruby colour. Just out of the bottle - strong new oak and some meaty notes. Rounded, good acidity, medium tannins. Long finish. Will need time to breathe.
  With time to breathe - Ripe red fruit emerges and the initial new oak & meaty notes enter the background. Soft, juicy, slightly spicy, good structure but still primary. 86-89.

  Hint av alkohol og aluminiumsmaling (avart av tjære) ved åpning, mørke kirsebær. Noe lukket på smak ved åpning, mye frukt i bakgrunnen som ikke helt kommer til sin rett. Etter et par timer på karaffel viser vinen seg fra en mye bedre side. Flott frukt med leskenes lang avslutning. Det kunne vært større konsentrasjon, men for nivået er dette flott. Helt ok match mot kalkun. 91

  Knightsbridge Annual Holiday Burgundy/Champagne Tasting and Sale (Northbrook, IL): Tasting, brief note. Good red cherry and berry with subtle spice, but very good minerality and acidity, so highlighted overall by textures, giving this good nuance. Cellar at least a few more years, 90+ point potential.

  The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. The body is light/medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity.
  
  Syrlige kirsebær og granatepler med streif av søtlige fatkrydder på duft. Sammensatt på smak med frisk og stram rød bærfrukt, mineraler og integrert treverk. Lang utgang med modne strukturerte, tanniner og en pen bittertone i finish.
