Light and easy to drink. Great with a smoked chicken salad — 4 years ago
This is ridiculous. What a nose. Also the “other” Overnoy. Nose of hay, cherries, spice, animal and feral. So good. So Pinot. So hypnotizing. Palate is so dope. Concentrated, juicy and so elegant. Amazing purity and so so focused. This is brilliant. What a long finish and lithe, ethereal with impressive and admiral ripe fruit. Ripe but juicy tannins. So long. An amazing Pinot Noir. — 5 years ago
Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery offers a series of Belle Meade Bourbons finished in different used casks. The Cognac finish helps reign in the bourbon’s flavors and choreography, coming to a narrower, cleaner point as it leaves the palate. Its aroma was described to me as “eggnog,” a descriptor I find hard to shake. The spirit does find a beautiful combination of suave, warming flavors – cream, cinnamon, clove – as well as a gentle magnolia blossom florality. — 7 years ago
Note: this rating is for this vintage when in its prime (secondary development)… as I pull this from the cellar it is clearly in 25% decline from tertiary development.  as I have come to learn, very hot, high sugar vintages do not work long-term for 100% PV bottlings. There simply is not enough tannin and acid to contend with the higher alcohol/sugars for long term aging - so 2010’s are out of runway at about 8ish years. I pushed this one to 11… But that is the purpose of my experimentation in East Coast wine aging. So what did it taste like: Mulberries and leather with sweet prune finish - quite similar to an UNFORTIFIED PORT. served admiral Voy with our fatty brisket as a stand in for California Zinfandel. All was not lost ;) — 3 years ago

Named after the Nelson family's pre-Prohibition matriarch who helped keep the business afloat upon her husband's death, Louisa's Liqueur is Nelson's Green Brier's latest release. A satisfyingly sweet digestif without being saccharine, this easy sipper tastes like a slice of pecan pie aside a cup of café au lait. — 7 years ago
Laithwaites box. Well balanced fruits and savoury. Easily drinkable but would tend up to food. — 4 years ago
