Nose: Dark cherry, fresh cassis, pencil shavings, old cedar wood. Palate: Sour red plum, popturri, licorice-y raisin, dark rock; chalky tannins. The tannins are holding very strong and taste wonderfully fresh and youthful; however, the fruit does seem to be fading into a mild oxidative state.

Drank over 2 days with a much stronger showing on the 2nd day. It was much too tight and unresolved on the initial pour, so give it a long decant or wait a day. Day 2 had classic Medoc notes of cassis, blackberry, plum. You could have almost convinced me blind though that this was a well aged Rioja. Good for the price but I probably won't buy again.

Relativ kraftig, men kjølig frukt. Endel relativ harde tanniner. Relativ lang. Tanninene sitter lenge igjen i munnen. Mangler litt fruktighet og litt grove tanniner.

Karaffiert, etwas runtergekühlt, kommt recht gut rüber mittlerweile.

Ok. As entry level depending on price ; nice aging development for a perhaps ordinary but characteristic bdx.

Mursteinsrød med ørlite lilla.
Lukt dominert av litt søte solbær.
