March 5, 2022 - Very bold on the nose with dark dried fruit. On the palette much the same with blackberry, jammy preserves. Decanted for about 90 minutes and it took another 30-45 to open up, last half glass this wine softened quite a bit, very smooth. Recommend a good 3 hour plus decante and you will be rewarded. Looking to buy more.

November 12, 2021 - Eðalklúbbur, haustsmakk #2 2021 (Hlíðarás 10): Mjög ljós litur. Fyrsti þefur gaf klóak (og það var ekki bara ég sem fann þetta). Það var líka talað um brettonomycus. Síðan kom ávöxtur, jarðarber og í lokin tóbak.
Þegar var smakkað á víninu kom í ljós að vínið var mjög kryddað á bragðið. Pipar aðallega en einnig bökunarkrydd. Þarna voru líka grænir tónar, paprika. Mikill ferskleiki. Batnaði í glasi. Fróðlegt að vita hvernig þetta smakkast daginn eftir því það var alveg eitthvað við þetta vín þó það væri kannski svolítið fráhrindandi í byrjun. Það óx í glasi allan tímann. -

March 12, 2021 - dark purple and opaque. pepper, smoke, dusty and woody characteristics present themselves up front. tangy dark fruit, sour cherry, pepper, earth, bacon. very pleasant and easy drinking. this is ready to go! ...recommend that this be drunk young.

Update: this gained body after 5 hours in the decanter, so I think there is room for further development. -
