A very interesting albeit in its last legs wine. A touch fragile so we would advise only sourcing it from well trusted sources and avoiding decanting. In any case the wine is open from the pop of the cork. Well matured , dried dark cherries on the nose, light herbs and less leathery than one would expect from Cab Sauv. Andreas who tried this blind guessed mid 90s Barolo from a modernist Producer , another friend went for super Tuscan. Good wine , an experience for sure. A happy 91 from us.

I doften både svarta vinbär och körsbär, skogsmark, tjära och tobak. I smaken rätt obalanserat och kärvt. Detta är verkligen inte i nivå med deras Nebbioloviner.

London Blind Challenge (Caldesi, London): Deepish, dark colour. Again quite young. Again, tobacco and slightly stewed tea on nose. Higher acidity than previous wine. Graves-like on the finish but very young. Guess 2002 Graves (or Loire Cab-Franc as an outsider).

Very smooth and tasty. Lacked punch.

Bordeaux 1989 (and the rest...) @ Peter V. (Netherlands): Exotic, soft and sweet nose.Wonderful. But on the palate its rather hard and slightly green. Obstinate. Will this ever soften? 16/20
