Post by Rune EG »

Normally this wine is being consumed 2-4 years after production. Have kept two bottles from the extraordinary vintage 2011 in order to see how it is developing. Tried one, now being 7 years old. It moved up three points from my first tasting autumn 2013.

Decanted 1 hr. Dark purple colour. Aroma is fruity with touch of minerals and oak. Medium body. Pleasant entrance, elegant, fruity with tannins coming on. Well-structured wine with a good acidity/sweetness-balance. Medium to long aftertaste. 91 pts.
