A. Larsson
"Deep garnet-red color. Layered nose with fine breeding and integrated oak, aromas of violets, wild berries, pepper, clove and smoked meat. On the palate, it has good hold and volume, round tannins, a rather elegant texture, spicy, fleshy fruit flavors, good harmony and a long finish." (Andreas Larsson)
