Nice oak integration with good complexity. Prune, dark cherry, black current and leather with plenty of fresh raspberry. Vanilla, coconut and nutmeg. Medium finish. — 4 years ago

@Benjamin Keator had his hosting at the CC tonight and it was absolutely incredible. What a night of gorgeous wines! All wines are guessed blind.

This dessert wine is about the same age as my Dad. When you can associate a wine/vintage personally, it really opens your eyes to how wine can hold. This is undoubtedly Pedro Ximenez, which I guessed. It reminds me of a non-vintage port with a balsamic mix to it. Tons of black licorice, old brown sugar, and the aforementioned balsamic vinaigrette note. Incredible for the age. — 8 years ago

@Benjamin Keator : I tried tagging @David Schoonover and @Jake Stroud in the wines bit it wouldn’t let me...maybe they aren’t following me or something?

Goodness I love LRA wines. The nose on these are intoxicating. American oak has calmed down but still full of coconut and dill. Could smell it all day. Incredibly pure on the palate. Blackberries, Mexican vanilla, green pepper. No tannic bite. — 8 years ago

@TheSkip @Weijie Shi : I can’t get enough of these wines. At 16-17yrs old, this could not be tasting any more incredible.

@Bill Bender : Ha! If this is the Shay way, I must be living right! Very fortunate and grateful to enjoy wines from others and share wines with others. Including you in 2018! ✊🏼

Mogen Rioja som fått ligga till sig på flaska i decennium. Doften är mäktig. Plommon, mörka bär, oliver och vanilj. Smaken har tydlig ålder och den initiala fatlagringen känns. Mogna plommon, svart te, dill, grön paprika, kakao, örter, anis. En fint avslut med antydan av tanin. — 7 years ago
