VERY subtle nose at first, barely showing anything besides light notes of cured meat and wisps of reddish berry fruit, barely discernable - after 45 mins in the decanter the nose opened slightly, showing really clear black licorice, mint, a kiss of faintly sweet plum, some minerals, maybe the faintest musty quality. Still super subtle but with interesting characteristics.
Palate was a lot more present, with very silken, elegant tannins that increased gradually in intensity (ending up a little chalky), and a great pop of fresh, brambly, tart raspberry/blackberry, medium plus acidity. Not a very long finish but certainly fresh and fun.
In general I wish it was a bit more expressive- was a little unpredictable and unusual too (especially with the nose hiding a lot of detail), but thankfully still undeniably delicious and showing some cool subtleties.
Frisk og saftig på duft med modne kirsebær, våt løv og lett herbalitet. God nerve her. Middels fyldig og tiltalende fruktbilde. Kirsebærstoner, lett trevirke og gode salter på en lang og smattende utgang med fin tanninstruktur. God vin
