I had the sensation this was overrippe, a bit stewed. Aromas of dried plum, a bit herbaceous too. Almost disjointed. Lots of alcohol both on the nose and on the palate. Quite long, creamy texture, a bit thick. Well integrated tanins. Not sure how it will evolve, but I think this was probably harvested too late, with a slightly over-the-top extraction.

Dekantert. Nydelig. Mineraldrevet slår meg først. Balanse. Herlig frukt. Pen syre. Er dette årets beste? Hedonist-vin galore! Mister litt spenst dag 2. altså en dag-en-vin!

Ikke dekantert. Behag, men noe alkohol? Noe ung. Vent! Bedre dag 2, men vent.

Dekantert. Vanvittig pen nese. Også stort behag på munn. Noe fet. Smalere, mer tilfredsstillende dag 2.
