So, a friend of ours bought a bottle of the 1998 vintage and kept it cellared for decades. He wrote on the back of the bottle his original tasting notes; honey, thick apricot, 94/100.

This weekend, we sampled it several times. It still seems to show notes of apricot, pear, honey, and a bit of botritus. A dark gold color and slightly onctuous mouth feel.

Frankly, it's not a big improvement from 25 years, but it's still a drinkable, semisweet wine. More like 89/100 at this point.

We had this wine with savory snacks and also with sweet desserts. I wish we had more friends sampling it, and I didn't still have some leftover in the bottle. — a month ago

Excellent, luscious Burgundy 2018.

Dark red, silky smooth, good fruit, touch of smoke and leather. Rich, unctuous mouth feel and pleasant finish.

gift bottle from friends, our first tasting of anything from Kerr Cellars.

An enjoyable Chardonnay, nicely nuanced, not too much oak. Apples and pears, a bit of butter scotch.

Served with cold chicken, potato, and mixed greens salad with a side of watermelon and French bread on a hot summer day. — 2 months ago

unusual white wine from Austria. dry, interesting, would buy again. I'm frustrated that the pictures of the bottle we had won't upload on the delectable site. It has a different label but seems to be the same wine. — 2 months ago
