Second time tasting this and simply gorgeous. Round dark spicy raspberry and olive tapenade, but minty fresh, even mineral, like oyster shell. Drinking very nicely right now with long finish

Eðalklúbbur. Vínsmakk apríl 2024. (Marbakkabraut 12): Loftað í þrjá tíma. Frekar dökkur litur. Grösugt í nefi. Hey, súr, Lúx sápa, lofnarblóm. Járnkennt, rauðrófur? Svo þegar búið að standa smá stund í glasinu þá komu fram sæta (karamella) og píputóbak. Mjög góð fylling í víninu. Dökk ber, hvítur pipar, lakkrís, krydd og kaffi. Þægilegt vín, gott jafnvægi en frekar stutt ending. 91 stig núna. Á örugglega eftir að klifra upp um 1-2 punkta með hækkandi aldri og meiri þroska.

94/95:Last glass a 95. A profound yet lighter Beaucastel with mostly black and blue fruits, lowish oak and decent freshness and good length. Needs 8 hrs aeration and was continuously developing. 14.5%.

A beautiful dark ruby red. After 2 hour DD. Earthy, dark fruit and sweet tobacco on the nose. Very inviting smells. Medium body and wonderfully balanced. Long and lingering with a nice chew on it. Love it.
