I used to own some 04’s-09’s that always over-delivered for around $36-$40ish. Now $80-$90. The 22 was good and showed me their quality & consistency over the many years hasn’t slipped.

Custom Lexus SUV made for tailgating, around $200K. It does sort of fly in the face of don’t drink and drive though don’t you think?

Savory and bright with a touch of band aid. Some sour cherry fruit and a deep gnarly pluminess. A slightly peppery note in the finish
