T'n'S Blocks Hudson Vineyard South Syrah

2018 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 1.5 hours. Medium body. Excellent, dark color. Some leaner fruits balanced with earth and spices. On the prettier side of the ledger currently. 1.2.26. — 5 months ago

Small Batch US*1 Bourbon Whiskey

The American counterpoint to an Irish whisky at the Embassy of Ireland in Japan (the recently opened Ireland House). USA a clear winner, even in the highball format. — 8 months ago

Limited Edition Small Batch Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 2025

I had a bottle of this limited edition in 2021, and at the time it was one of the best bourbons I'd ever enjoyed. Got my hands on a bottle of 2025 and it now costs considerably more. Really great juice. Although 109 proof, this does not throw too much heat. It tastes very much like a wheater (which it is not), yet the rye content is also prominent from the nose through the sip. Cherry, leather, cornbread, and cigar box. Best way I can describe it is that EH Taylor and Pappy 15 had a baby. It's very good.

2025 limited. Great way to start the year. And “best” is a high standard coming from you so if I ever see these regardless of year I’m making your pour some!

Aw shucks! It really is that good. Keep your eyes open at high end bars and restaurants, maybe you can sample it for less than an arm and a leg

Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Great example of Irish whiskey, mellow yet flavourful. Almost a syrupy mouthfeel, candy, a wee bite at the finish — 9 months ago

Hudson Vineyard Chardonnay 2020

9.4

This is a “wifey” rating…
Caramel and butterscotch notes on the nose and palate. Roasted pineapples and limes present on the mid palate, with a note of preserved citrus fruits. Evolving to a better place as it warms up in the glass. Getting better with bottle age.

No longer interested in spending my attention on this platform. Too flakey and too many bugs. Not a good use of my time.

Hudson

Estate Grown Napa Valley Chardonnay 2018

Luckily, this bottle was on par again.
Freshness of juicy fresh fruit, just-enough-acidity and a mineral twist combined with creamy Napa-richesse of warm pastry, vanilla and a hint of caramelfudge.

Hudson Vineyard Chardonnay 2016

9.2

Visual tells you that this is a mature example. Nose presents olives peaches. Palate is all about macerated olives and briny notes. Nice delicate nutmeg and roasted nut notes combine with ripe white fruits and moderate sweetness. I love the Hudson vineyard so wanted to take a look at this. We got to this a little too late, but it’s still excellent. Its pedigree shines thru. — 9 months ago
