Deep, clear purple - quite alcoholic in the nose - medium bodied in the mouth, with flavours of fruits and darkness, and a hint of sour - smooth finish.

On opening, this was totally mute on both the nose and the palate. I wondered if I weren't coming down with a cold, as seldom does a wine leave such a non-impression. Decanted overnight, this starts to take on a fecund, almost funky nose of red berries, with the same echoed on the palate. This is light-bodied and basically one-note. Not obviously flawed, but ultimately nondescript. Wouldn't buy it again.

Vínsmakk #1 haust 2013 (Marbakkabraut 12): Annað vínið í fyrri hluta smakksins. Dökkfjólublátt. Þungur ilmur, skógarbotn og hey. Krydd í bragði. Pipar og örlítill negull. Plómur.

Weekly tasting group #086; Spain and Portugal versus Italy (@ SB): Purple red. A lot of dark fruits like blackberries, blueberries and cherries in the bouquet. On the palate a juicy somewhat sweet start, some spiciness, ok acidity and mild and round tannin. Some vanilla as well and overall also a firm amount of sweetness. Maybe not extremely complex, but certainly a very ok wine to drink between now and 2018.

7 years old and very plummy. Holds up well, sugary with lots of dark fruit. Lack the acidity to create real balance
