Redemption 10 year Barrel Proof Straight Rye Whiskey — 10 years ago
"You need to eat more meat to get better" is what my butcher told me today- and I took it to heart. The redemption of this once boring, monolithic Bordeaux has given me optimism. Four years ago this wine was boring, now it is graceful. Big dark currant fruit and earth are matched by pure claret lift... I'lll be looking forward to the other bottles whenever- this wine will out live me! — 11 years ago
Hahahahahaha! Oh this one is a bitch. She tricked me into thinking she was corked the ENTIRE first night this was open. First time I was forced to leave her on the counter feeling rejected. Left it for 2 nights and redemption has become! Reminded me almost to an exact tee of the Balthazar Cornas chaillot. Tons of violets with a massive attack of limestone and granite making her a warrior of extreme grace. Cheers to opening this little girl. She's fierce and just barely forgiving if you have the patience. — 10 years ago

This site continues to be one of my favorite - such tension and redemption. Acid and floral, peach, nectarine, herbs and quince. — 11 years ago
So much better than that bottle of barnyard I brought to the party the other night. Regrets. Redemption. We hope. — 10 years ago

Previous vintages have been questionable, but the 2012 is rocking. Deep, complex, and luxurious, with robust ripe tannin. Let it open up over an hour or two. Redemption tastes good. — 10 years ago
