Had enjoyed more previous vintages. High acidity and a bit green red fruit (unripe).

(16.5/20) Аромат, в котором доминируют красные ягоды, довольно высокая кислотность, мелкозернистые танины.

A little green. Traditional style. Still delicious.

Smoky, cherry nose with lots of oak and a touch of plum and tar. Bright acidity and a box spice box lead to earthy drying tannins and lots of oak with just a hint of juiciness to bring it all together. The finish is long, drying, and full of earth and minerality.

Once it opened up it was really enjoyable. Spicy red fruit with soft tannins. Lovely wine.

Kryddigt, mustigt, vanilj och dill. Lite ekfat. Bärigt och stort i gommen. Prisvärt!
