Eðalklúbbur. Vínsmakk apríl 2024. (Marbakkabraut 12): Nóteraði ekkert um litinn á þessu víni. Meðaldökkur ef ég man rétt.
Þéttur ilmur. Blóm, rósir. Þarna var líka vanilla, ilmvatn, sólber, sítrusbörkur (mandarínu og appelsínu), negull og reykjartónar.
Á tungunni: jólakrydd, negull og sechuan pipar. Salt og steinefni. Fínt jafnvægi og uppbygging á þessu víni. Krydd í eftirbragði.
Þetta er alveg ágætis vín. Kostar 22-23€ sem er kannski í hærri kantinum miðað við hverju það skilar.

A nose of some dark fruits and spices, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, licorice and spices on finish. Still good but past it’s peak. www.winelx.com

PnP that needed about an hour of air to get up to full speed. Wow, so young, so fresh, such power. med+ body, full-flavored, very fine tannins, red/dark red core of fruit, good+ sense of place. This will live for many more years. The fruity exuberance of its youth has turned to the light, it's far more elegant than on release. highly recommended

PnP that was ok on day one but really opened on day two revealing good purity, deeper flavors and more vivid perfumes. Textbook RdD flavors, red/dark red fruited, good soil and elegant in a restrained modern style. In a nice place now. Several good years still ahead. recommended

Muy joven aún, pero promete. Buena acidez para aguantar unos años, necesarios para complete su integración. De color rubí opaco, casi negro, con gran brillo. En nariz predomina la fruta roja ( cereza, frambuesa) con cierto recuerdo a menta/mentol. Tras 2 horas del descorche, en boca lo percibimos denso, casi sin aristas, donde emergen las notas de chocolate, cuero, tabaco, café e higo sobre un lecho de ciruela. Reservar hasta el 2025.

This has become more integrated through time but I plan to wait a few years to try again. The good news is that it has a solid acidity that will carry it through time. I get raspberry and tart cherry on the nose. The palate still seems rather simple to me. I have it a second day to see how it would evolve and it improved but the jury is out.

Black cherry, plum, blackberry, and chocolate aromas backed by hints of vanilla and coconut. The palate is dry and presents flavours of plum, blackberry, cassis plus earthy notes coalesced with vanilla and subtle oak. Still some rough edges and mild heat in the finish. 15% ABV.

No hurry to drink this, because the tannins were quite pronounced and almost outshone the burgeoning deep, plumish fruit.

Moncheri, alcohol, clove and vanilla. Full body and power. Not my preferred style and so for me poor qpr. But I understand lots of other people really like this, so ymmv

A bit muted at first but then developed nicely in the glass . Decent finish.
If you have some, there is no reason no to drink these up now.

Dyb, mørk rød. Nærmest violet.
Næse af mørke bær. Solbær og brombær. Noter af karamel og vanilje.
God fylde. Medium tanniner. Mellemlang smag med en blanding af frugtsødme og en smule bitterhed bagerst på turngen.
Jeg kan god lide den uden at det bliver en favorit. Skal have en hel del luft.

Good QPR thanks to Garagiste special, this medium bodied Tempranillo showed a little oaky vanilla, earthy minerals and soft cherry fruit. Nice but seemed mature and perfectly in the drinking window -I wouldn't keep this in my long term storage section of the cellar.

Very dark red color. PNP, drank a couple glasses over 2 hours. This starts out on the nose with black raspberry and cassis, charcoal, pencil, and hints of black licorice which evolves further to reveal a nice bit of damp forest floor and cured meats - really a nice nose. The palate is medium full to full bodied, modern, yet really well balanced and not overdone. Black raspberry, deep cherry, pencil, oak, lots of minerality, licorice, and earth with a polished texture and tannins. This took on some weight as it opened. Very good, should drink well for another decade.

100% Tinto Fino from vineyards around the municipality of Anguix in Ribera del Duero. The average vineyard age is around 40 years. Fermented spontaneously and macerated for two weeks in 5000-liter oak vats. Aged for 18 months in predominantly French oak barriques. 14,5% alcohol. Tasted blind.

Dense, concentrated and fully opaque blackish-red color with a somewhat evolved maroon hue. The nose feels dense, ripe and extracted with bold and concentrated aromas of dark forest fruits and toasted oak, some sweet mocha tones, light evolved notes of wizened black cherries, a little bit of coffee liqueur, a hint of cassis and a touch of ripe dark plums. The wine feels dense, extracted and chewy on the palate with a full body and concentrated, somewhat evolved flavors of wizened blackcurrants, some toasty oak spice, a little bit of minty lift, light sweet mocha tones, a hint of peppery spice and a touch of extracted woody bitterness. The wine is surprisingly high in acidity for the size and ripeness, whereas the assertive, grippy tannins feel very appropriate for such a powerhouse, lending some vital firmness to the mouthfeel. The finsih is rich, dense and grippy with a very long and somewhat sweet-toned aftertaste of toasty mocha oak, some cassis tones, a little bit of savory wood spice, light evolved notes of prunes and wizened figs, a hint of blueberry and a touch of minty lift.

A modern and quite extracted blockbuster of a wine. The oak use here feels a tad too excessive, but the great structure here keep the wine from coming across as too monolithic, instead making the wine appear as relatively balanced for such a big wine. Although the wine is too big, extracted and oaky for my taste, I must admit that it feels like a well-made high-quality wine. I could live with the big size and ripeness, if the wine would've seen less oak, because even if the wine feels like it can still age for years more, I doubt the fruit will last as long as it takes for all that oak to integrate and disappear. Most likely this wine will keep on getting better as the oak slowly integrates and the bold, assertive tannins resolve, but I have a hunch this will never evolve into something truly elegant and exquisite.

Nice nose of dark fruit and a hint of vanilla. Palate is balanced but a bit tannic. Dark fruit tobacco leather and also a bit of sweet honey in the middle. Good long finish. In window.

Spice and floral scent. Earthy flavors dominate the flavor profile and the aftertaste. Secondarily, anise, tar, coffee and dark fruit flavors. High alcohol. Serious structure with plentiful fine tannins and a long finish.

Decanted and enjoyed with chicken enchiladas. Full body, clear, deep ruby color. Initially a bit tight and disjointed with notable oak and tannin. Developing. As this begins to open there are aromas and flavors of mulchy black dirt, ripe blackberry, tart black cherry, chewy tobacco, and sweet black licorice. Powerful finish. Can drink now, but tannin, acid and oak require more time, or hearty food with decanting near term. Drink through 2034.
