This never quite opened up, despite being given three nights to do so. Nose was good enough, with darkish fruits and berries as well as a hint of something herbal. Mouth was muted, and while the acidity was nice, there was a chewiness/coarseness to the tannins that I didn't enjoy.
Unsure if this bottle was defective, but that could be the reason for it not blossoming as I'd hoped. A bit of a disappointment in any case.

Driven by strawberry and some blueberry. Nice acidity. Needs lots of air. Within the 1st hour I would give 89 points. With some air better mouthfeel and complexity. Nevertheless I guess to be consumed within next 4-5 years. Solid red.

Wild strawberries deluxe, great mouth feel, deep and complex this is really good! Lingonberry-like tannins, great acidity. Wish I had bought more.... Drink now or within three years
Day two: Deeper characters and lacks that elegance from yesterday. This is not a wine made for long ageing in my book.
