It's Blanton's, proofed up to 103. Being a single barrel, Blanton's is consistently good but not consistently great. This bottle is well above average. It smells and tastes like something from the Van Winkle bourbon lineup. Dark cherry, apricot, leather, cigar box. Much more pleasing than last years bottle. I thought the Gold used to be in a skinnier 700ml bottle, but this is 750ml. Maybe I'm losing it 🤔

Overpriced exotic white blend from Sonoma: you get a bunch of that Malvasia nose, very floral, fennel, herbs, citrus-y, silky on palate, nicely integrated acidity - more austere on palate, lean/angular, herbaceous green edged, but w/decent power — 4 years ago

Epic. Racy. Clean. Apples, limes, underripe tropics, and stones. Long with incredible structure. Running my tongue over every corner of my mouth. — 3 years ago

This wine tastes like pinot. Very good one. High, but pleasant acidity. A clove, maybe plum, vanilla. A bit spicy finish. — 4 years ago

Alive and kicking after being rescued from the back corner of the cellar. Black plum and raspberry fruit with smoked meat, baked earth and accents of wild herbs. Palate has a touch of raspberry jam with herbal notes and more roasted and smoked meats. Just enough tannin to feel the wine focused. Fun to find this drinking well even though it fades a touch with air. — 4 years ago

2012 vintage. Really good; developed some additional notes beyond the big youth. Someone noted they smelled it 6 feet away. Indeed fragrant. — 6 years ago

Textbook wine from this corner of Burgundy. Outstanding nose, featuring earth, mushroom, dark fruit, and a peppery/brackish note. Satisfying on the palate. Good stuff. Bottle #2 (and #3) at Asta. — 6 years ago

Clean, crisp and flavorful - a bit riper than Chablis but very much a cool climate Wine; this has green apple, green pear, acacia, flint and wet stone, and a bright bit of herbal greenery in the background. There is more body here than in Chablis with a hint of creaminess on the palate. Really enjoyable, a food-lover’s wine. Grilled lobster, steamed shrimp, fried chicken, the possibilities are endless. — 4 years ago

With New Years around the corner, grab something nice for 2022. Made with 100% Pinot Noir from 10 different "crus " (or villages), from the North & South areas of the Montagne de Reims, as well as the famous Cote de Bouzy. Deep salmon pink with full aromas of berry fruit and citrus mineral notes wrapped in a delicate fine mousse. On the palate flavors of raspberry and strawberry, bright acidity with spicy notes and orange zest. Long silky finish, ending with earthy yeasty mineral character. — 4 years ago

Lemon zest, candle wax, sea salt, almost ripe nectarine...what a glorious dinner companion. Round, almost viscous, but zippy acidity and a long caressing finish. I am smitten with white Italian varietals nurtured in California and largely unoaked. — 6 years ago

Aromas of white flowers and a little petrochemical. On the palate developing fuller flavours with a nice touch of nectarine - great purity. A multi Trophy winner on the Australian Show Circuit. Riesling is another grape varietal very suited to Tasmania. — 7 years ago
