Lacking a bit of punch in the mid-palate reminds me of a donut hole wine finish. Just doesn’t have everything you want. Whiskybase ID

Fun tasting at Weygandt Wines with John Lockwood. The third of four wines being poured and first red.

Medium garnet red with a ruby core. A bit singular to start with a medium intensity floral attack. After a few minutes in the class, red berries carried throughout and the floral notes morphed into a spiced finish or white pepper. Medium tannins (5/10) and medium acidity (6/10) on the palate. Light body and fresh. Lots of red berries on the palate; strawberries, raspberries and a touch of rhubarb. Stoney notes and acidity carry from the mid palate through the long and lingering finish. Drink till 2024.

This wine is made up of 100% Pinot Noir. 50% whole cluster and aged in neutral hogshead barrels (350L) for 12 months. — 8 years ago

24 year old Strathmill from a refill hogshead. Another hit from the lasted batch of exclusive Scotch to hit our shelves. Delicate dry, pitted fruit, long rich finish. — 8 years ago

On 25/1/17 Citrus Burst Speyside Linkwood Single Cask Release 1997. Linkwood single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by Wemyss and given the name Citrus Burst, which doesn't sound too dissimilar from the name of an ice cream or an exciting sweetie. It's not. It's a tasty, tasty single cask whisky which matured in a hogshead from 1997 to 2013. A release of 363 bottles. — 8 years ago

Clear, straw color. Warm inviting peat aromas, wet grass, baseball glove leather, smoldering fire, some green fruits in the background. Rubber, iodine, and apple tart in the mouth. Hot, but balanced. Long finish. Excellent peated whisky from Ichiro! — 8 years ago

California butter, oak, buttered popcorn, citrus, and white florals on the nose. Palate also shows the same buttery oaky notes, but not as strong as some CA Chardonnay's. However, the mouthfeel does show it did spend some extra time on lees as it's creamy. Palate of; Lemon/lime, grapefruit, green apple, the oak on the palate shows a softer presence, secondary fruits are tropicals with dominate green melon, white flowers with good acidity and nice freshness. Spent 7 months in hogshead barrels (300 liters). Photos show the d'Arenberg cube that stands on the high hilltop. Opens later this year. I must say it really doesn't fit well into the McLaren Vale natural landscape in the other photo. Wonder how they got the plans approved with the MV Council?💰💰 — 8 years ago
