Well balanced, garnet color, modest bouquet, nice finish, in summary: a perfect compliment to roasted vegetables with smoked bacon. Highly recommended.

Tobacco and earth, fading fruit and tannins. Went very well with spicy puttanesca spaghetti sauce.

Quite the birthday present! Sherry, red fruit, leather and tobacco. Developed even more after a few minutes in a decanter!

Mycket röd färsk frukt med bra syra. Åldern känns inte mycket. Efter att ha stått öppen ett tag kom mörkare frukt samt lite jordiga toner fram. Mjuka men tydliga tanniner.
