I´m dissapointed by this wine. After opening the bottle the nose shows great with aromas of red berries, dried leaves, leather and a hint of tobacco. But on the palate the super high acidity hits me like a thunderstorm. I´m a great fan of wines with high acid but this was absolutely over the top! After a couples of hours I tasted again. The nose was totally collapsed, the nice aromas of the first glass where blown away. The palate improved a bit, the high acidity was better integrated but still not my favorite wine.

Agree fully with adent's TN before me. This has some mature characters but mainly a cherry driven taste. However, tannins are a little too austere and the sour cherry just a tad bit too sour.

Rusty light red, musty but inviting nose of cherry, menthol, cranberry, rhubarb and floral notes, sweet dark fruits on the attack followed by spicy cherry and mocha, lively but medium complex finish with tangy red fruits, tar and dusty tannins

Mest rekommenderade vinet i sista släppet. Var gott att dricka feb 2016 o klarar utan problem några år till. Känner inte igen övriga beskrivningar.

Correct tar & roses nose, slightly marmitey. Nice sinuous mouth, lacks character. Will last a few years; signs of some depth that might improve.
