Nice wine. Floral, rose nose. Tobacco, leather, prunes, chocolate and some funky earthiness. On the palate, nice mature blackberry, overripe strawberry. Nice dry finish with plenty of tannins still holding on. A nice dinner wine.

Nicely aged and softened, hints of red fruits (strawberry and pomme grenate), violets, cedar wood, tobacco and tomato.The wood and tannins completely integrated, some reflects of cassis but missing concentration and acidity in the mid palate, maybe slightly over its top. Time to consume my last bottle.

Prövade helblint En del mognadstoner direkt i näsan, skog, svamp, lite alkoholstick trots sin ålder. Tycker mig känna lite blod och chark och dras till rhone först, men sen får jag lite mer parfym och blommor och tomat som tar mig till Italien och gissade på en sangiovese-blend. Otroligt stramt, men rätt kul!

Dark, with an intense nose of black currant, cigar box and cocoa notes. Medium to full bodied on the palate, well balanced, with charming leather, cedar, tobacco, chocolate notes, and a long mentholic finish. Sadly my last bottle, as I realise that this wine can easily go another 5 years.

Delicious, ultratypical tuscan bottle. Mature fruit and subtle cigar box in the nose. Full bodied palate, cedar, chocolate, tobacco, fine leather, with the typical hint of parseley and tomato blossom revealing its origins. No hurry to drink.

Dense, earthy nose. In the mouth chocolate, generous notes of ripe fruit, light toast, garrigue. Long finish.

tannins were quite smooth, still, this has quite a few more years to go. keep remaining bottle until 2019-20?

Overdone, too much oak and no grip. Extremely uninteresting.

Nice nose of dark cherries, black currant, some dark chocolate, vanilla and some cigar/tobacco. Medium-full body with medium firm tannins, medium acidity and an overall impression of balance of fruit and structure. Good length. It's slightly on the modern side, but still a nice expression of Cabernet in a fresh but still opulent style. It could probably also age nicely for a few more years.

Expressive bouquet with black as well as red forest fruits, spiciness and tobacco. Same on the palate, some chocolate as well. Firm amount of sweetness balanced by soft acidity and bitterness. Ready now and the next few years.

tasting the May releases from the Government monopoly with "the cupbearers" (Näringslivets hus, Stockholm) : very open and warm nose with tobacco, violet pastils, green capsicum, herbs. Fresh and rather elegant, entirely void of tannic structure and grip, this makes me think it shouldn't be stored for very many years. crowd pleaser.
