On Coravin clogged my thin needle with the sediment. So decided to PNP and glad I did. Darker older fruit on the nose. Great mouth feel from the front to the end of the palate with a relatively complex finish. We left a third of the bottle with gas however I would bet it will decline when we try tomorrow. Wish I had opened last year, drink up…cheers.

Found my notes from four years agio, and this wine has not moved much since then; still a cool cat, peppery, intense with a classical core of black olives and bacon. Years to go, although certain accesible now, tannins are softer. #Kandestederne

Excellent. Concentrated and deep dark berry flavors. Tannic so likely still developing. Fruit a plenty with solid balance, and food friendly despite its size in the mouth.

Three hour decant, the nose is amazing with dark fruit, charcoal, pepper, black olives and lavender. This is the kind of bottle I could spend hours enjoying the nose alone. The palate matches the profile of the nose, with smoke, charcoal, plenty of blueberry/blackberry and a florals. Bright acidity and chocolate tannins supply the structure for this quite accessible wine. The complexity is outstanding, the QPR on this bottle is off the charts, if you can find a bottle of this vintage buy it and drink it, more cellar time is not needed.

The best of these so far. Blueberry pie up front, but then flowers and olives and smoke appear one layer down. Drank over 2 nights and was really enjoyable, and little changed, both nights.
