  Eðalklúbbur, vínsmakk #2 vor 2020 (Marbakkabraut 12): Bolli keypti þessa flösku í fyrravor þegar Cims de Porrera víngerðin var heimsótt. Liturinn farinn að sýna mikil öldrunarmerki. Brúnir og appelsínugulir jaðrar. Vínið er svo mjög ljóst, næstum eins og pinot noir. Mjög þægilegur ilmur af víninu. Plómur til að byrja með. Síðan kom eitthvað svipað og strokleður. Mjög gott þegar bragðað var svo á því. Rúsínur til að byrja með og endaði í krækiberjum. Flott jafnvægi og almennt virkilega flott og fágað vín. Á mjög góðum stað núna en á kannski ekki mikið eftir þangað til það fer að dala.

  6/11/2017 - PacoHigon Likes this wine:

  65% cariñena, 30% de garnacha y 5% de cabernet sauvignon. Crianza de 18 meses. Fruta roja muy madura, confitada incluso, muchos matices especiados, algo de hierbas aromáticas, un toque de flor ajada y un final balsámico. En boca buena entrada, con cierta textura terrosa, tanino pulido y bien integrado, ligeros amargos, buena acidez, buena estructura y notable persistencia. Excelente presencia.

  On pop, scents of black olive, floral, and earth - dirt garden - at the end a little maraschino cherry.
  
  After 2 hour decant - scents of prunes and tobacco. Taste of prunes, oak and menthol. The wine has clearly lost some fruit, and the alcohol is intense. I imagine this bottle was much better 3-4 years ago, but still interesting. Medium weight with a short, hot finish.
  
  Drink up.

  Great nose on opening. 45 min in the decanter and that turned to rubber as was the taste of the first glasses. About 45 min later mocha/chocolate and some fruit came up and left a long deep finish, but it was hard to shake off that first impression.
