  saw my other note and it fits, but different path for this bottle, opened on night one and (like my prior note) rich round weighty red fruit compote, could sense the oak but -- although it eliminated any sense of tension -- it wasn't unpleasant, also (as my prior note says) some modest tannin left to give it some grip, was very good and i hoped would improve over next couple notes, then awake on day two with a nasty headache and a bit of stomach upset, judged it to be the wine and so had one small taste (good) and dumped the rest down the drain… well made wine (even if this bottle was a bit tainted)… i will refrain from a rating

  Plommer, kaffe, sjokolade.
  Selv om den er fullmoden holder den fint koken, og er spennende og morsom.
  Lang finish med helt softe tanniner.

  wow was this a surprise, drank over three nights and it was best on night three, throughout it had sweet and bitter cherries on the palate, there was light tannin remaining on night one but by night three it had faded to nothing, the fruit came forward each night and largely overtook the oak / oak spice elements which were more dominant on nights one and two, only thing that kept this wine from 2 add'l points was the oak was just a bit too much, lively with decent acid and felt like -- to my surprise -- it could go another ten years… super nice
