February 10, 2024 - I've tried 2 bottles from an OWC, and this wine feels very young still. You need 4-5 hours of decanting to let it open up. On 👃 ripe raspberries, almonds, walnut, some cigar box, some leather. Balanced taste of walnuts & muted ripe raspberries , light throat burn, short taste. This bottle should improve with more time.

December 30, 2022 - Friday Blind Tasting $100+ (Bin 75 Alpharetta, GA): Cloudy violet crimson; mesquite, dove shit, wilted violets, a youthful intensity to the nose, plum and red fruit; nicely aged on the palate with a firmness to the tannins, nice complexity and drinking well, a very good example of why I like off-vintage N Rhone.

May 24, 2022 - Eðalklúbburinn rúllar um Rónardalinn.; 5/23/2022-5/27/2022 (10 vínhús og ein súkkulaðigerð heimsótt í norður og suður Rónardalnum.): Þarna var komin öldrun í lit. Hvass ilmur. Stollenkaka, rúsínur, vínlegnir þurrkaðir ávextir og niðursoðin kirsuber. Þægilegur en mjög dökkur ilmur. Ekki mikill ávöxtur á tungunni. En mikill ferskleiki og gríðarlega flott jafnvægi. þarna er fullt af svörtum pipar og einnig tóbak. Fágað og gríðarlega flott vín.

October 30, 2021 - Popped and poured. This was delicious. Quite Burgundian in style. Blackberry, cherry, garrique, roast meat and spice this is shows terrific balance and elegance with the oak well integrated. This will not be a long lived wine but for now it’s drinking really well.

July 6, 2021 - Intense nose of dark cherries, iron… very structured, still so tannic - but great acidity, black olives, dark cherries, anise… a lot going on here, but wait 2-3 mote years. 94 with 96-97 potential
