An excellent Spanish "High Altitude" wine - full body despite it is "only" a 2020 bottle - Chapeau to the wine maker and the Bodega !

Darkest color ever, almost opaque. The aroma was promising but it tastes like...aronia juice! I liked those berries in my childhood, but my taste has changed since then. If you have tasted those berries then you are familiar with that strange sensation in your mouth. In combination with 15% alcohol, this is not a pleasant drink. Speaking of food pairing, I can imagine only some desserts, like apple pie.

A Spanish Amarone! Very dark in color. Full-bodied, plummy, blueberries and black cherries plus some herbal notes. Definitely some sweetness in the mouth which reminds me of a young Amarone. Long finish. At this stage still at the beginning of a long drinking window.

Charred oak wafts from the glass and envelopes the dark, rich fruit laden palate. Delicious. Powerful. Modern. Know what you're in for, and you'll have a good time.

This wine of garnacha tintorera (a grape whose pulp is dark) is surprising: its opacity is very high, and its legs tint the glass. It´s powerful, but complex. It´s very hard to find something like this for this price. I really like it.

I confess that I don't understand the allure of this wine, so dominated with a charcoal scent and taste that it seems that someone burned the inside of the barrels before fermenting this.

We seldom pour out a bottle that isn't spoiled. But then again we seldom both taste a Spanish Red and say "It's sweet!" in unison. What a disappointment.

Polarizing wine, very concentrated, spicy and many pressure, but a bit one-dimensional, missing complexity, the second glass did not give you more information. However it´s a remarakble wine with power.

The 15.5 abv seems accurate and earned from fruit. Bombs not usually my thing, but @$5, this was balanced and held up well over 4 days. Would get again

Jólavínsmakk Eðalklúbbsins 2021 (Marbakkabraut 12): Frekar dökkt eða jafnvel dökkt á litinn. Ungt. Í nefinu: Bleklykt, fjólur og plómur. Einnig einhvers konar timbur eða viður, greni kannski? Talsverð sæta á tungu. Svört kirsuber, lakkrís og kaffi á tungu. Góð fylling en vantar sýru og ferskleika. í lokin kom svo apótekaralakkrís. Hafði verið umhellt í um klukkutíma. Veit ekki alveg með þetta vín. Það kostar um 23€ sem gerir svipað og Valduero Crianza. Of sætt fyrir minn smekk.

This is one sickly sweet mess... Confected, lacks acidity, and gives Spanish Grenache a bad name ! This may appeal to the cocktail wine crowd, but it is certainly not an enjoyable drink.

Deep extraction. New French oak on the nose. Sweet, dark ripe Bing cherries. Plus Cassis and ripe plum. Sustained finish. Very soft tannins. Easy to drink. Pairs well with oven fried chicken and eggplant. Also goes nicely with chocolate.

deep red colour (ox blood), the alcohol is noticable, but a very powerful wine, oak is very present, could probably hold another 5 years. Dark fruits

Dark red/purple. Deep fruit extraction. Blueberry notes. Full mouth feel. Medium tannins. Long finish. Great food wine. Needs at least an hour to open.

Rich, dark berries and cherries. Almost a preserve without the sweetness. Long finish. A little hot when opened. Great after decanting for over an hour. Has quite a few years of life left.

dark purple almost black in the glass. a nose of black pepper and ripe fruit is appealing. This is a big wine with very ripe fruit that on one hand is interesting and with the right food like barbecue nice but on its own and after a glass or two I found it maybe a little over extracted and cloying.

This wine is deep garnet in color with a med intensity of aroma. The nose consists of prunes, stewed blackberries, cardamom, black pepper, ripe raspberries, cedar, milk chocolate, and cotton candy. This wine is bone dry with med(+) acidity, med(+) body, high alcohol, and a med(+) finish. The palate consists of nutmeg, black pepper, grilled strawberries, stewed blackberries, vanilla, and eucalyptus. Overall, this is a very good wine that should be drunk now.

Ripe black fruit, strong tannin, full-bodied garnacha. So intense and concentrated fruits, messy leg and overly sweet. Alcohol is quite high(16%) but controlled well. This was too strong and simple for me and the second day was better for me as it became a little mild. Though it’s not my thing at all, couldn’t deny it’s well-made approachable wine.
