Raspberry, red fruit on the nose. Cherry on the fore palate, followed by hints of candied plums and a long, smooth finish of soft tannins & oak. (French onion soup, Bacon wrapped fillet mignon, sautéed zucchini and mushrooms, triple berry crisp), — 2 years ago
This is great, but was shocked that it had so much oak characteristics. Not what I was expecting! Nose is wonderful plums, fresh herbs, cedar, and even a bit of leather. Palate is more plums, cherries, red apple skin, then oak, baking spice. I really like it and would have never guessed this as a broc wine. Fascinating to go back in their vault. Would love to know more about this one. — 3 years ago

2023 Whisky Advent Calendar, Day 7: Kavalan Single Malt Triple Sherry Cask. Didn’t save my notes correctly due to a wifi glitch. Only the rating number was saved and I just noticed three days later. But I do remember I thought this was very complex and quite interesting. — a year ago
Visited the Jameson Distillery while in Dublin. Was an interesting experience.
This whiskey is matured in charred bourbon barrels.
Nose - banana and toffee. Palate- caramel and toasted oak.
Makes a good cocktail with fresh lime and ginger ale.

Dark, dry, high tannin wine made from whole cluster fermentation and low temperature; no oak. We visited this small charming winery a few years back just south of Mendoza. A small family operation. The father had worked for years for one of the large wineries. Then saved enough money to start his own on just a few hectares. Stacking in the grape plants with double and triple levels of cordons for maximum light interception in this tight area. I could swear they had named each of their grape plants. Well crafted wines, very balanced. — 3 years ago
