  Meget lys. Rødbrun farge. Litt vandig.
  
  Lukt av karamell og litt krydder.
  
  Søtt anslag. Ikke stikkende søt. Litt karamell. Merbar alkohol. Kanskje litt kaffe, i alle fall i det siste glasset som inneholdt litt bunnfalt.
  
  Meget god.

  Pronounced nose of red dates, fig, prune, honey. High acidity and high alcohol.

  Here is the first TN after opening and decanting.
  
  Very pale ruby that fades to a light pink at the edge. The nose is quite weak, but I can detect plums and strawberries. The palate is thin and lacking in fruit at the moment, but it is not overly hot given the lack of fruit. The finish is short, but not clipped. While obviously not a blockbuster, I wonder if this may come around and blossom as it does not seem to out of balance. more TN's to come
  
  5 hours on:
  The only real change is there's more of a carmalized note on the palate and the body has gotten a bit thicker. Definitly past its prime, but drinking surprising decent.
  
  Its day 2 now and i must say it drinking the best right now, some 28+ hours later. Don't get me wrong, it is still over the hill, but there is some nice carmalized flavors along with some very dark (almost overripe) plums, and almost no noticeable heat. The finish is not long, but not clipped either and there is a pleasant aftertaste of dates.
  
  My overall impression and score would be around 84 points

  Very light colour, strawberry rather than very brown; immediately attractive nose (sweet, soft, demarara sugar and amaretto) but this lasts only a minute or so; on the palate light, smooth, soft, pleasant but lacks grip and weight, flavours of red fruit and almond; decent length. Gains a little depth on the second day.

  Christie's Pre-Sale Tasting (Amsterdam): Quite a lot of brandy but attractively ripe and sweet.
