Henrik Johansson
Date of tasting: 8/2 2009
Apperance: Yellow almost old Gold
Nose: Warm and smoky. Didn't feel very spirity at first but then an agressive prickle attacked the nose. Behind that there's some cough medicine, sawdust and green twigs. A pretty dominant peatiness, tar and moss. Intensive, youthful freshness with some complexity (but could do with more). With more water added cumin and mossy woodlands comes out together with a wineyness which is beginning to appear.
Body: Medium, oily.
Palate: Round and cooling. Definately towards the sweet side. The wine comes out with a dominant acidity in the middle. Reminds me of a fresh white wine. The finish is relatively long and hovers between ripe pears and dry smoke.
