Richard Hennessy. Pre-1875 Eau de Vie from Folles Blanches. Dark amber hue. Bright and starry. Savoury, white pepper, cedar wood, raisin, dried fig, coffee bean. Very complex. On the palate, medium alcohol - integrated and surprisingly soft. Medium minus body. High concentration of flavour. Great length. Special. Not the same character of the 1910, 1965 or the 1947 casks tasted earlier today. But clearly a step up from the Paradis Imperial. — 7 years ago

First time trying Kuheiji. I hear that they're typically quite elegant, but I can't say the same about this iteration of the legendary Betsuatsurae. All power with little relief. The quality is unquestionably excellent, but just not for me. I'm sure the next time will be better. — 6 years ago

Fresh and fruity forward. Quite light and refreshing for Malbec. Cracked black pepper undertone. Lingering acidity carries through the long finish. — 9 years ago

My previous notes are listed with a click on the photo & a short scroll. I opened this bottle four hours ago. It tasted past it’s prime from the bottle we had several weeks ago. This bottle showed lots of figs, dates, prunes & Eau de Vie Brandy/Cognac. It took four hours open in bottle to get back to my previous notes that I made nearly two months ago. Now, it’s beautiful dark, rich, beautiful Cabernet. If your well stored 87 BV Rutherford tastes over the hill upon opening, I wouldn’t decant it...that would be too much air for this bottling. I would open the bottle for an hour and let it stand. Then, pour into a glass for fifteen to twenty minutes and serve. It recovers magnificently. Deliciously perfect after nearly 30 years in the bottle. For the two of us, our last pour tastes like our previous bottle did after four hours being open in bottle. A splendid recent purchase for less than $50. — 6 years ago
