2015 was an amazing year! This tastes like a $80-$100 bottle. Now I know what people mean about French wine when they say it ages better than most American wine. Absolutely fantastic. The nose was seductive, on the pallette was absolutely amazing. I need to find more to buy asap.

A powerhouse… definitively needs more time. Although was magnificient with a steak! Tanins not so well integrated, looked like a fresh wine… will wait another 5 years at least for the next bottle. Prob 93-94 range. Because mouthfeel was still harsh a bit, giving 92-93 now

Beautiful deep purple color, with a little sediment. On the nose, blackberries, smoke Blueberries, tart jam, and sour cherry on the palate Strong acidity and strong tannins.
Nice dry wine, well balanced. This is really good and a great value at this price.

Decanted and drank over an hour with dinner. Even after an hour, tannins were firm. This could easily age for another 2-3 years before hitting its prime. Bouquet of red and black fruit with floral notes. Beautiful red and black fruit up front on the palate, with nutmeg, cedar and pencil lead on the mid palate. Lingering finish, and well balanced.

Edrúarsmakk Eðalklúbbsins 2023 (Marbakkabraut 12): Umhellt í ca. 5 klst. Bleksvart. Lokað í nefi. Eftir þyrlun: Lakkrís, skógarber. Fínn ilmur, sérstaklega úr cab. sauv. glasi. Einnig píputóbak og negull. Ekki eins flott á tungu eins og í ilmi. Pínu hrjúft. Vínið er náttúrlega ungt. Blóð og járn voru þarna samt.
