The nose is profoundly layered and regal: cedar chest, humid tobacco, graphite, and dried rose petals, unfolding slowly into red currant, black tea, sandalwood, and the faintest whisper of truffle and old parchment. It’s not about intensity; it’s about dimension…

On the palate, it is seamless and sovereign. Red and black fruits are fully resolved into essence rather than flavor; currant, cherry skin, a touch of plum; all wrapped in polished leather and earth. The tannins have dissolved into silk, the acidity remains statuesque, and the finish lingers with a calm, noble persistence that feels endless rather than long.

Chateau Margaux at its absolute summit: complete, composed, and eternal; power expressed through grace, and grace sharpened by the patience of time. Do drink now. — 6 months ago

Outstanding Cabernet - smooth tannins but strong lingering fruit - very happy. Only drawbacks - the corks are cheap and nasty — 8 years ago

Today was the day that I finally "got" single grain. Thanks Driscoll- I didn't need another bad habit! Near rum sweetness, rye like wildness and single malt complexity. — 11 years ago

Not at what I expected. Mellow with vanilla and stone fruit on the nose and tongue. Very bourbony in an odd kind of way. Finishes with a sort of vegetal bitterness, almost like fernet branca. I think that’s characteristic of single grains, though my experience is limited. More fascinating than delicious, but I loved drinking it all the same. — 8 years ago

Light bodied Napa Pinot Noir with whispers of cherry, strawberry, blueberry all corsaged up on my tux just like Senior Prom. Veneers of smoke & tabbaci crown this puppy off. This is one easy drinking sovereign! — 10 years ago
