Rhetoric

Nikolaihof

Vinothek Wachau Riesling 1997

After all the flowery rhetoric about this wine...it really is that good. Combines the expected citrus and mineral Riesling characteristics with fragrant chamomile tea, nutty brioche (from lees ageing I assume) and bracing herbaciousness, like a high-end aftershave. Truly unique — 10 years ago

Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Co.

Lost Prophet 22-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The best of the four released so far. The old Stagg juice is drinking so well. Not over oaked like the Old Blowhard. Has more complexity compared to the Bernheim juice of the Rhetoric and Barterhouse. — 11 years ago
