2008: The overriding impression of the nose was smoky mezcal, no matter how many times I went back to the well. A silky almost glossy quality to the fruit. Most likely VA driving the nose, yet I imagine it's simply this bottle. — 11 years ago

Deep gold to pale amber color. Roasted almond, biscuit, caramel pecan, yeast, ripe apple, peach, a little bit corn, wet stones on the nose. Oily and full bodied, medium to high acidity and very lively, well structured, delicate minerals, voluptuous and smooth mouth feel. 15% alc. 2004 vintage — 10 years ago
This is an inarguably great wine. And all the more impressive to me that it is stylistically not my typical leanings. Serious power, depth, balance - still so young - and I'll be damned if this wine isn't mindblowing in 10 years. Bravo @Fritz Hatton — 10 years ago

What does a NC man do for entertainment- he drives to south jersey to visit a friend - that friend introduces him to a bourbon - solera aged style - so damn smooth - what heat disappears so quick it was shocking leaving an amazing finish - I truly appreciate this recommendation and I am believer Adam - total smiles — 8 years ago
