Eðalklúbbur, vínsmakk #4 haust 2017 (Marbakkabraut 12): Frekar dökkt á litinn. Ekki mikill ilmur að minnsta kosti ekki til að byrja með. Kirsuber, dökkir ávextir í bragði. Mikið krydd. Við áttum í erfiðleikum með að átta okkur á þrúgunni. Ekki kannski skrítið því þarna var um að ræða mencía sem er ekki algeng þrúga. Virkilega gott vín.

Classy Mencia. Red fruit, liquorice and green peppers in the nose. Taste consistent with nose, balanced with black currant fruit notes, lots of acidity, balanced with tannins. Very long, satisfying finish. Very good wine.

Killed by new oak. Candied blueberries, milk chocolate and really bad vanilla oak. After 1 h in glass, all of these aromas and flavors were even more amplified. If I wanted a blueberry vanilla shake, it normally costs $5, not $20. Down the drain.
