Could not be better for this price!

Wow! A wonderful oily, fruity wine. Well worth the money. As someone who loves pinot noir from Burgundy this is a wonderful change and for 190 kr this is one of the best bargains in Norway.
If you love Pinot Noir then this wine will stun you. Grapes from ungrafted bush vines planted in 1919. You will not be disappointed!

Wonderful wonderful pinot noir. Left the bottle open over night and it got even better.

A nicely balanced pinot noir. Tasted young with a hint of tanins that somehow worked well. Easy to drink

What a wonderful surprise! I have been let down time again by New Zealand pinot noir wines, often thin and very short finish. This one is a deep red with a long finish. Being an amateur I almost would have said this was a young Cabernet Sauvignon if I had tasted it blind. One of the best 400 kr wines I have tasted this year.

Wow wow wow. I dare many to blind taste this on not think it is from France. Wonderful strong deep fruit tastes combining with that earthy aftertaste of Burgundy. Best 400 kroner Pinor Noir I have tasted this year!

Basic Cremant with very short after taste. Not many aromas or tastes coming through. Are many others out there to choose instead of this one.

Butter and flowery aromas. Yellow apples with only slight acidity. High bitterness but addictive. Short after taste bringing you back for more again and again a wonderful change to cremant.

One of their first collaborations. A nice wine and great value for the money.

An okay Pinot Noir from Monterey. Nothing special.

A very nice subtle pinot noir. Not as fruity as many Napa wines which was a nice surprise.

What a bargain for 220 kr! I don’t like reviewing based on price but this is an exception. If you want to impress your friends by choosing a wine away from the ‘normal’ countries then this is good one to start with. Great with a steak or or wild foul.

A beautiful bottle promising nirvana that for me just missed the mark. Low aroma but long after taste. Delivers what is on the bottle but not in the 90s.

Hoped that this wine would replace my Pinot Noir USA needs but I feel let down. The slightly acidic aftertaste knocks it back to mid 80s.

Many have given this wine less than 85 points and when i first opened it (blind) i would have to agree. It tasted sharp and was difficult to enjoy. However, after letting it breath for a few hours and even overnight in the bottle it is fantastic wine. Possibly one of the best 150 kr wines on the market. I give it 86 points not because of the value for money (which I never do) but for it’s quality.

A magically smooth whisky well worth the money if within your budget.

What an amazing buy!! Possibly the best bargain in Vinmonopolet? Everything a Malbec should taste like.

What a great wine and a great price! Wonderful deep colour and strong dark berry tastes. Bargain!

The first glass of this wine tasted sharp on the palate. I decided to air it and bang the whole symphony of smells and tastes hit you in the face. Suddenly it became peppery, long and wonderful to drink. Later it was combined with a fiery soup and this just enhanced it again. Very well blended!
