Shared with a friend in a bar with a view here in Sthlm. In fine form, this wine is at age 13. Dark fruits and tertiary aromas lifted by a cool streak. A+

Somewhat similar to the 2011 Antikythera, but a more elegant version. Don't be fooled though, this is a very serious wine that asks for attention. Dark red cherries, blood orange, cranberries, some light notes of development such as earth and the faintest hint of liquorice, and some wet stones. There is quite some acidity here, keeping the wine lively and exciting. The tannins have integrated, the wine is intense, and the finish is long (the only thing detracting is a slight bitterness, which I'm quite sensitive to). I don't think this is on its last legs yet, will try one more next year.

Not scoring this as 2/3rds of the bottle was consumed on day one, but not scored, and then stored in a Somm du Vin for 5 days. On day 5 it has much declined, showing notes of VA and extremely muted on the palate. On day one it felt fully developed but was drinking well (89-91).
Wow. Composed and delicious. Delivering concentration and persistence in a 12.7% abv package. This bottle was in a great place at the moment. I like where this wine is- drink now or roll the dice.

Recommend to drink now.

Held this one too long. Still has structure but lacks the fruit to provide the elegance it had 2-3 years ago.
