Muted nose of stewed cherries. Good cherry core with chalky tannins. Age worthy for at least another 5-7 years.

Orange peel, little bit of asphalt, maybe some spearmint. Nice

Bright and lively with red currant and (stewed) strawberry, some undergrowth and a touch of mandarine peel. Juicy acidity paired with pure fruit and surprisingly grippy tannins. A bit hollow on the mid palate and not as charming and ethereal as I expected but a convincing red from the master of whites.

Subtle & light, one might even say weak; fine balance with lingonberries & raspberries and some tobacco.

Syrligt, pruttigt. Till fiskspett och risotto m Ann och Tommy. Maria i Hemsedal och T sov hos Hera. Typisk burgundare.

Red currant and raspberry dominates both nose and palate. High acidity and short finish. Would like more complexity but it is a good wine nonetheless. Especially considering the price.
