First time trying out the new backyard digs but still drinking the NV BSBR. Go to Rosé bubbles. Always get that 50-50 bar or creamsicle flavor with perfect, powdery chalkiness that the region of Champagne does best. Also, appreciate the 12% ABV. Yummy. 😋 — 3 years ago

De li Ci o Us !! ... Great Tempranillo. Beautifully balanced. Low acidity and gentle tannin. Ripe strawberry, plums, prunes, leathers, licorice, tobacco... I would give this wine a higher rating if the “after taste” was somehow more interesting... Still, this is an Amazing Tempranillo wine that wouldn’t leave anyone indifferent. — 8 years ago

My go to scotch. Much bolder on the finish than blue and gold. Full bodied mouth feel and robust flavor. — 10 years ago

Just wonderful, caramel oak notes, cold smoke on the nose.
Japanese Whisky is at a high point in the market presently, if you bought early (5-10Y ago) you're sitting pretty now 😉 — 4 years ago

1984 vintage. Cork difficult to extract, ended up in several pieces. Beautiful deep color, little to no bricking even at this age. Seductive at one hour+ of air with black cherry, raspberry, some vanilla, green pepper, graphite. 12% ABV. From the FIL’s collection. — 6 years ago

What a tremendous bottle ! Very dark rubi color, with no signs of aging. Nose of black currant, some secondary aromas and a hint of flowers. Very polished tannins, in a medium length mouth and the traditional rich and round Pauillac mouthfeel. Its incredibly good to drink right now, but will for sure hold at the very least another 10 years or so. Very highly recommended. — 7 years ago

Wow, a Fav! Had another bottle about 7 mos ago. Blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah & Grenache and aged for 10 months on French oak (40% new). A deep red color with aromas of black fruits and sweet spice. On the palate, ripe plums, jammy blueberries and sweet cherry with slight oak and vanilla spice, pours like syrup. Lingering finish, good length allowing the soft tannins to open in your mouth. Good structure, ending with pure fruit and dash of minerality, drinks well now. Produced with 12 different labels. Wow! — 7 years ago
