A guilty pleasure of a wine. Big in every way. Well matched sweet wood tannin, bright acid, and ripe fruit for the 15% alc. Delicious and easy to drink. Smells like new world Bordeaux. Aging potential. From magnum.

Wild and bold, this offers great ripeness and sweet tannins, framed by toasty oak and ripe, sweet, dark fruit flavors, balanced by integrated acidity. Internationally styled, but well made and with enough stuffing to age another 10 years.

This was a cracker tonight! Undecanted, but a standout in the lineup. Distinctive with its balance of dark fruit, savoury herbs and tannin grip that beautifully paired with aged beef.

Dec 31st, 2020A weekend for new world Bordeaux blends, apparently. This one is fragrant and so soft and approachable, with fruitcake spice and dark berries and dark chocolate; ever so drinkable. There’s depth and complexity but it has a lightness and prettiness — quite a contrast to the Tapanappa it’s sitting side-by-side with tonight.

Dark fruit, tobacco leaf. Manages the high % quite well.

Väldigt inbjudande aromatiskt. Cederträ, nypon, kryddnejlika, vanilj, blommor och mossa. I smak fruktig, följsam med lite hetta och tanin.
