  Eðalklúbbur, wine tasting #5 spring 2017 (Marbakkabraut 12): Youngish colour. Dark core. The bouquet consists of fruity tones, vanilla. Too much vanilla for my taste. When swirled the bouquet fades pretty quickly. Pronounced tannins which are not resolved. Oak, pencil, prunes. We were concerned about this wine as it didn't show nearly as well as the 2005 did some months ago (WOTN in that tasting). In addition two of the tasters had tasted this vintage from the same batch we acquired last winter and said this did not feel like the same wine. The wine was not flawed that we could discern. Maybe this is a case of bottle variation. Not rated this time. A bit disappointing, however.
