  an excellent wine. Had it with ribeye on grill, and it was excellent. Drink with food. Very expensive wine (440Dkr), but so enjoyable to drink.

  Clear deep ruby with garnet rim and staining legs; clean pronounced nose of cassis, strawberries, leather, balsamic and mint; dry; high acid; high tannins; high alcohol; medium plus body; pronounced flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of cocoa and tar; long finish; drink now or in 5 years; fabulous wine - super concentrated and intense; nose is so beguiling

  Dark, intense purple. Wonderful sweet blackcurrant aromas, with just a hint of blackcurrant leaf in there somewhere. Amazingly sweet but balanced on the palate (by sweet I mean ripe) with a significant amount of tannin providing welcome structure. Glorious. Cork. I believe the alcohol is as high as 15% in some vintages, but I don't know what it was in 2014.

  Clear deep black cherry with brick rim and staining legs; clean medium plus nose of blueberry jam, cassis, coffee, cigar box and vanilla; dry; high acidity; medium plus tannins; high alcohol; full body; pronounced flavour intensity; palate has fruit payoff with addition of tar, cocoa and black licorice; long finish; drink now or in 5 years; outstanding wine - fruit forward with lovely tertiary notes - doesn’t come across as too hot; delicious!

  Crimson-purple; cassis, wild blueberries, black cherries, wet stones, vanilla; ripe black currant/blackberry, minerally, lush, full body, good acidity, good structure, good balance, slightly astringent tannins, lingering finish.
  Decanted 2 hrs. Jammy, silky fruit with full flavour and chewy tannins.
