Purchased auction Norway 2015. Bottled by the Norwegian State Wine Monopoly.
Cork was crumbling and difficult to get up. A lot of sediments. Decanted 3 hrs which appeared to be perfect. Light redbrown colour. Fantastic and interesting aroma including minerals, berries and some acidity. Medium body. Wonderful, smooth, some oak, minerals. Well-balanced with fresh acidity and in superb combination with sweet berries. Herbs, spices and minerals. Long pleasant aftertaste. Much better than previous bottle 2.5 years ago. 94 pts.
