  Bricking development in colour.
  Mint, pepper, orange in madeira scent bursting through on the nose. A finished glass captivating with honey, flower and bright orange fruit, so up there on intensity.
  Palate continues developed, there is some fresh fruit to be had, but lets say a association like honey preserved orange dominating the palate. Punishing tannins at the end, and some wood in the aftertaste.
  One non wino-friend had a taste at the first glass pnp, and said it was the driest wine he had encountered, starting to asking about wood and wine. Last bottle I opened two years ago I rememered as dry dry dry. Not shure if this will hit a pleasing balance with the fruit so developed and the tannins still firing so hard.
  
  Day 2: Notes of marcipan, almond, orange liquer, aceton, really lively scents from the rim. Continues light and developed on on the palate, tannins are more integrated and finish is softer and shorter. A much more coherent experience. Up to 91 from 88.
  
  A clear hold, my last two bottles is firmly tucked away for the next five years or so.

  Cheeries, red berries, some mature notes and quite high acidity. Really nice.

  This bottle is closed up compared to the one four years ago, this needed some air for sure and even then it is not at all as expressive as it was when just released.
  
  Roses, violet, tar as well as cherry and orange rind, maybe a little tomato leaf (nerello tell-take) This has quite persistent tannins and good acidity, and it doesn’t show almost any development into the dried fruit and flowers end. Just in a place between the youthful exuberance and more developed excellence. I am starting to see that these wines are really worth drinking early rather than waiting a few years.

  Intense and structured wine, packed with strawberry fruit but also some thyme and licorice.
  The tannins has balanced out nicely and it has certainly started to open up and show some lovely intensity.
  It probably needs a 1-2 hour decent but overall, it seems to be ready to drink. Great wine!

  Aroma av markjordbær, lakris, krydder, rosin
  
  Skam å åpne nå, mye tanniner sandkorna men god struktur og syre, alkoholtouch, sjokolade, lakris, rosin,
  
  Spesiell farge med brunskjær og er gjennomsiktig, men litt mørk.
