  Eðalklúbbur. Vínsmakk apríl 2024. (Marbakkabraut 12): Loftað í sex tíma. Hefði þurft meiri loftun.
  Liturinn er í ljósari kantinum.
  Oxunartónar í nefi. Ferskur ilmur. Ananas, sítrus (límóna). Svo kemur fram blómailmur, fjólur og lofnarblóm.
  Mikil sýra á tungu. Svo sítrustónar (appelsína). Þokkalegt jafnvægi. Ekki mikill ávöxtur en í eftirbragði koma fram pipar og brunatónar. Það var gott samræmi á milli lyktar og bragðs í þessu víni.
  Ég byrjaði með vínið í syrah glasi. Prófaði svo að færa það yfir í cabernet glas. Lyktin var talsvert flottari í því ávöxturinn kom betur fram í því. Það var líka heilsteyptara á tungu.

  Really good and improved with time. Tannins at first but became very very good. Drank Xmas eve with a lava and Italian cab.

  Pretty smooth, gentle tannins. Almost a sweetness to it.

  BYO USA (Centropa, Oslo, Norway): Dyp mørk farge med lilla kant. Mørke bær og eucalyptus på duft. Kraftig anslag, sødmefullt bærpreg med solbær og pent integrert eik. God konsentrasjon, godt tanningrep, god struktur. Lang, behagelig og sødmefull smakskurve med solbær og et hint av Vicks halspastiller på utpust.
