  Raspberry, strawberry and some gun powder. Good match with cheese and charcuterie but also works on its own.

  From 375 ml bottle. Pop n pour. Now 30 min open. Aromas of lovely bashing spices, herbs, red and black cherries, and a bit of bark. Palate w black cherries, bark, baking spices, a bit of herbs on midpalate w mild tannins that emerge toward the back end. Nice acids. Elegant with a mildly plush mouthfeel. Moderate long finish. This is lovely for a base wine with nice complexity and a very nice value. 90+

  Biodynamic notes which encompasses dried leaves and forest floor. Lots of red sour cherry fruits. Seaweed notes. Some VA but it was enveloped well with its strong fruit profile.
  
  Very good streak of minerality but to me this is more about the bright acidity.
  
  93-94 points easy.
  
  Second round: Less fruits now (more sour cherries) and seaweed notes, more drying finish.

  Cherry, beet root, and leather aromas. Shows good depth and definition, with red fruit, cinnamon, and singed earth flavors reminiscent of a Village Burgundy. Delicious and lots of bang for the buck.

  Frisk och nyanserad. Smakade först direkt från källare (temp: 16). Lite jästig
  Mycket jordgubb, lättdrucken
