December 2, 2021 - Definitely on the opulent side with no shortage of oak, but it's also rather accessible and moreish in a crowd pleasing way. Lots of plums and black fruits with hints of cocoa, coffee, and cloves. There is real density here, but it's not heavy or over the top. Needs time, but also doesn't seem like one that will be around forever. Maybe it has to the end of the decade?

March 1, 2019 - Eðalklúbbur, vínsmakk #2 vor 2019 (Marbakkabraut 12): Frekar dökkt á litinn. Smá appelsínugul rönd. Ilmur, er einhver ilmur? Allavega ekki til að byrja með en smátt og smátt mátti m.a. finna svarta sultu, klístraðan púðursykur, vindlakassa og dökk ber. Á tungunni: Sulta, plóma og dökk eik. Í eftirbragðinu komu svo kaffi og kakótónar. Alls ekki slæmt vín en kostaði um 11 þúsund á sama tíma og flest hin vínin voru milli 6 og 7 þúsund og gáfu þessu lítt eða ekki neitt eftir. Ekki neitt sérstaklega góð kaup.

October 15, 2017 - In general these 2014 Bordeaux are a bit superficial with more body and oak than bouquet. They're lacking in finesse and delineation, but there is good concentration of fruit and body fat.

September 18, 2017 - A little less opulent than the 2015, very elegant and precise but a touch closed. Good fruit and structure, touch of coffee and plum- a more classic expression of the terror.
