The 2020 Citran is deep garnet-purple in color. It offers up suggestions of cedar and baking spices, over a cassis and black raspberries inspired core. Medium-bodied, the palate is delicate and refreshing, with a chewy texture and a savory finish.

Good density and tannic depth, a youthful profile but rounded by crinchy dark fruit, bay , leaf cassis, tobacco and fine oak, good length.

Sommelier

Deep garnet-purple colored. Offers faint scents of stewed red plums and strawberries with wafts of rhubarb and dried herbs. The light-bodied palate is a touch lean with lightly chewy tannins and a refreshing finish.

The 2023 Citran is deep garnet-purple in color. It reveals faint scents of baked plums and dried cranberries, with touches of tobacco and dried herbs. Light to medium-bodied, the palate is soft and simple, with a subtle, savory finish.

The 2022 Citran is deep garnet-purple in color. It barrels out with pronounced scents of cassis, plum preserves, and kirsch plus suggestions of licorice, lilacs, and stewed tea. The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with ripe, juicy black fruits, supported by grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing earthy.

The 2021 Citran has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It offers notes of dried herbs and red cherries, with touches of raspberry coulis and mossy tree bark. Medium-bodied, the palate has a good intensity of red berry and savory layers, with lightly chewy tannins and a lifted finish.

Duft av mørke bær, bjørnebær, plomme. Myke tanniner 🍷 Nydelig til entrecôte med bearnaise 👌🏻

Trondheim Vinfest - Vinmesse

Hmm. Støvet og lukket den første halvtimen. Ville den åpne seg? Nja. Ikke korkduft, så jeg tror ikke det er flaskefeil. Lite frukt igjen, men det lurer noen fiolaktige aromaer dypt der nede i glasset. Behgagelig syrenivå, avslepne tanniner og god lengde. Men det smaker ikke mye, og det er ikke kompleksitet. Like fullt en relativt elegant vin, men ikke verdt prisen, synes jeg.

Enda fin og fruktig, men avslipt. Spent på å se hvordan den aldres frem mot 2030.

WSET 3 dag 4.
Deep garnet. Pronounce intensity. Leather, stable, earthy, mushrooms, fig, game, bandages and tobacco.
Dry with high acidity. Low tannins, medium alcohol, medium+ body and medium+ flavor intensity. Black current , leather and mushrooms. Long aftertaste. Very good.

WSET 3

Modne sorte plommer, kaffe, Annis, søte moreller

Moden fyldig frukt, fortsatt primærfrukt, avslipte tanniner, lang og fin utgang 

Expert

dufter av bdx-blend, rød frukt, mint og eukalyptus. Rød moden frukt i munne. Fortsatt litt bitt igjen i denne. Fin moden balansert ettersmak som bærer preg av bra konsentrasjon.
