2018 vintage. Yet another 2018 that’s out of the blocks quickly. Not getting much out of the nose besides silt, black coffee and a little dark cherry. Medium-bodied. Smoother than a polished marble floor right now with just enough acidity. Espresso bean, bleached white paper, that dark cherry, brandy and raspberry pushing the tasting narrative. Had pushed all my chips into the center of the table with their 2015 and (to a lesser extent) 2016 vintages. May hafta open a line of credit for this vintage. — 5 years ago

First off, let me say that Crush Pad’s bubble selection is the best I’ve had. Much like Tom Petty albums, I love each and every one. This is a Pinot Noir heavy mix of glorious bubbles and it is damn fine. On the Tom Petty scale: this bottle is easily a Wild One, Forever, from Toms first record. Much like the song I just want more when it’s over. A lot more. “I'd never get over how good it felt
When you finally kissed me
I will never regret baby
Baby, those few hours linger on in my head forever”.

Very good. Fruity, plush and a bit of zest as well. Not a fan of the back label narrative but the wine itself is excellent. — 11 years ago

Ignoring that it's cute narrative and being "local", these gins are legit. — 12 years ago

When your brain detangles and you feel the cashmere cushion of understanding yourself. When your thoughts easily find their way into good words then fine sentences and finally you have a colourful string of beads that form narrative. Fluid ideas full of feeling. It’s circular and it’s ending could be it’s middle and its middle could be it’s beginning. Endless boundaries, no resistance. Care and ease. — 8 years ago

Ripe cherry, cranberry. Clean and lifted acid with delicate depth and saline edge. Delineated herbaceous notes. Rosewater. Italian rusticity balanced with French restraint. A striking narrative of balance. — 11 years ago

Light golden color reminiscent of apple juice. Warm apples, baked pineapple, grilled lemon, walnut brioche, pine nut, hazelnut, and Bosc pear and vanilla cooking aromas. There is light Spanish cedar trailing. NorCal wildflower honey meets pine nettle and orange peel on the palate. Cedar plank, green peppercorn, currant leaf, lemon zest, grapefruit oils, and flash of cinnamon oil paints a pleasantly complex narrative of autumn comforts and campfire smokes with brittle caramel bits and bee pollen place it squarely in the meadow. Packs a surprise for those who underestimate it based on pale color. No caramel color here, and no dark shadows. Bright, lively, alive. #compassboxgreatkingstreet #compassbox #compassboxwhisky #scotch #blendedscotch #edinburgh #scotchwhisky #whisky #whiskey #artistsblend #johnglaser #nonchillfiltered — 6 years ago
