Red colour. Intence grassy nose with hints of red currant, minerals and slight oak. Medium bodied in the mouth. Quite elegant with
fine fruit, good acids, just a slight hint of oak and some tannins in the back. Dry and foo-friendly wine.

Red colour. Nose shows cedar, herbs, grass and a touch of black-currant and leather. Medium bodied in the mouth. Fine balance with
good acids and light tannins. Quite herbacious fruit with some evolved notes. Lightly complex. A good food-wine drinking very
fine right now.
Arnt Egil Nordlien Tasting note: Jan-01
Red transparent colour. Quite light. Herbacious nose. Evolved. Hints of stable and some floral notes. Light and mature Chinon in the
mouth. Hints of red berries, herbs, light florality. Lightly complex. Fruit seems to be on the way down. Fine acidity. Acidic driven
wine. Light tannins in the back. This is a very mature bottle on the way down. It is still a nice drink, but the nose is best now.
Drink up.
Arnt Egil Nordlien Tasting note: Dec-08
Brick-red colour. Typical cabernet franc-nose of herbs, mint, grass and red berries. Some floral notes. Fine and evolved nose. Quite light
Chinon in the mouth in a pure and quite elegant style. Pretty fruit. Obvious and clear cabernet franc, but not the greatest depth here.
More simple and easy-going style. Fully mature now. Good acidity and little tannins in the back. Better than a bottle a few months ago
with more life. Good wine that needs drinking now.
