🎨 Mørk lilla

👃 Sterkt krydret nese med pepper, tobakk, lær og et hint av mørk frukt.

👄 Frisk vin med markante kryddertoner, tydelige tanniner og et røkaktig preg.

✨ Litt for intens for min smak – kunne ønsket mer fruktbalanse.

Satt kraftig ned i pris. Meget, meget bra, oliven og dyp frukt, mørk, edel bærfrukt, referansevin, minimum eik, lær og kjøtt. Veldig mye vin for pengene.

Duft av saftige røde plommer, bjørnebær, vanilje, og toastet eik.

Smak av plommer og pene integrerte blåbær toner. Veldig fin balanserte eike toner. Veldig pene tanniner.

The nose is intensely fruity with red to dark fruit with strawberries, sweet cherries and cherries. There is also dry forest floor and minerals against graphite. It is appealing and complex. The palate is slim, intensely fruity and with high acidity. The finish is long, acidic and complex. It is in a lovely drinking window, but can be aged for at least another 20 years. It is a brilliant wine that pairs beautifully with entrecôte from A5 Waguy.

The nose is fruity with both red and dark fruit. There are cherries and blackcurrants, but also raspberries and currants. There is also dry forest floor, vanilla and tobacco. It is complex and exciting. The palate is intense with rich fruit and high acidity. The aftertaste is long, fruity and acidic. The oak is noticeable through the vanilla, but still fully integrated. The wine is complex and well balanced, but still seems young. It paired beautifully with Secreto from Iberico pork. Several years ago both Jay Miller and Neil Martin considered this one as "old". I completely disagree! It is early in its drinking window, and will build further complexity and elegance over the next 10 years. Only Bordeaux can compete with classic Rioja when it comes to ageing potential. 94 points.

Burned toast, fart and barn. To reducive maybe Brettanomyces. Something ok way in the background.
