Wws ( Wine With Spirit )

Southern Tier Brewing Company

Blackwater Series Warlock Imperial Stout

Big, foamy root beer-type head, that smells of graham crackers and mocha. Chai- Mocha with Maduro notes, light licorice, nutmeg, light cayenne, light mint notes interplay with the espresso-and pure cacao, toasty and warm. The pumpkin is almost secondary, but emerges, adumbrated in dark leather satchels filled with fire-blackened pumpkins possessed by Aztec priests with vanilla bean necklaces, tobacco leaf doba skirts, and smoky spirit animals made of graham cracker. 2nd to last P-beer! The hallucinations are natural, of course. — 10 years ago

Domaine Familial L. Dupont

Calvados du Pays d'Auge 1997

1997 vintage. Medium Amber hue. Medium intensity of apples, Perry pears, honey, vanilla. Apple sauce, wood resin, cinnamon, toffee apple. With water added, more wood and vanilla notes to the fore. Very aged. On the palate, off dry, smooth integrated alcohol. Full bodied, pronounced flavour intensity of apples, pears, honey and toffee apple. Long finish, highly complex spirit. — 10 years ago

Zorah

Karasi Areni Noir 2010

Fabien Lainé
9.0

A well done wine with maybe a bit of little grip wild finish, a nice discovery, a pure and fresh wine - Karasì, is a tribute to the 6100 year wine tradition of Armenia and to its Areni Noir grape, which has created the authentic spirit of this wine. Its name is a reference to its long aging in traditional large, clay, amphorae (karasì being the Armenian translation “from amphora”). — 11 years ago

Tequila Ocho

El Refugio Tequila Reposado 2014

Excellent representation balance of agave spirit and oak. Too many overpower with wood. Free the agave, as that is what Tequila is about. Pure pleasure. — 11 years ago

Seppeltsfield

Para DP 90 Rare Tawny Port Red Blend

All fantastic fortifieds. The 21 yo is the pick of the bunch, all smoke and marmalade. DP 90 is refreshing, almost sherry like with nuts and a touch more spirit. The 1985 is exceptionally smooth with toffee and orange . The standard 10 to 15 yo is less intense but great value.
Best of all though...the 1914 and 1967 from barrel.
Tasting at Seppeltsfield highly recommended....

9.2

Pouring on the porch this evening with the 2010 & 2012 Ghost Hill Cellars Rose. Lovin' it! The '10 more serious. The '12 more sassy. Fabulous fruit (strawberry, raspberry & cherry) with solid framework in terms of structure. Yum! — 12 years ago
