I remember 1st time reading the wine note , I 'm confused by all these words such as linden flower ,gooseberry,genet,locust.... Growing up in Asia,I am not familiar with so many fruits or woods I 've never seen in supermarket, I thought a wine note should be able to reduce the complexity of the tasting of wine , not the other way around. I could not find a way to resolve this till I meet this wine. When I taste cask23 , after a sip of of FAY, another sip of S.L.V and sips of some white, I felt like finally I meet the goddess. If FAY is a fair lady, SLV is a leaping stag or elf, Cask 23 is the godness. I could not find a other word to describe this wine characteristics overall , not by naming it after fruits, the complexity, elegancy, as well as amazing glimpse, everything makes her a prefect lady. A real goddess beats Old world wine in 1976 XDπͺπππππ β 10 years ago

Solid baby brother to the Fay and SlV, but Cask 23 is still top dog in this litter. Offers deep, ripe fruit and satisfying oaky vanilla. β 9 years ago

Super tannic at first with a lot of fruit. Over an hour it mellowed a bit and some acidity started to come out and balance things out. If you like fruity Napa cab with lots of tannin this is for you. β 9 years ago
