Dark, opaque red color. Smoky, blackberry nose. Lush, beautiful fruit, black cherries, bitter-sweet chocolate. Cranberries on the mid-palate. Firm tannins, great acidity, great balance. Finishes long and intense with cherries and dark chocolate. Still a bit primary. Needs 3 to 5 years more to develop. Could drink well for another 5 to 8 years after that. 93 points with an upside.

Forkaupasmakk frá Spáni #2 (Hlíðarás 10): Mjög dökkt, nánast svart á litinn. Fjólublár jaðar. Í ilmi lím líka blómaangan, fjólur. Fágaður ilmur. Síðan koma sætir tónar, lakkrís og krydd, negull líklega. Í bragði mjög dökkir tónar, frekar hrátt. Síðan kom í eftirbragði dökkt súkkulaði og kaffi. Vín sem á þvílíka framtíð fyrir sér og er mjög gott nú þegar.

Eðalklúbburinn in Catalunya; 9/3/2017-9/9/2017 (Catalunya): Tasted at the winery. The group got to taste four barrel samples. All from the 2016 vintage. One from garnatxa, one from old vine garnatxa (from vines up to 100 years old), one from carinyena (the exact wine for this tasting note) and the last from syrah. All were good but the old garnatxa was absolutely to die for. 96-97. For me the best wine in the entire trip. If you stumble upon it don't hesitate to buy it. The others were around 92-94.
