Delightful Pinot Noir. Perfect with the Berkshire pork loin. — 2 years ago
Nose has ripe plum, crushed dark chocolate, moist fig, slight vanilla and dried violets.
Palate has dried blackberry, eucalyptus, ripe plum, blueberry/cinnamon, dehydrated cherry with mostly resolved tannins. Long finish.
Decanted +4H at the time of notes, but improving with more time...a delicious bottle still.
Paired with Chuck Eye steaks from Kinderhook Farm (Valatie, NY); honestly the best (local) beef source in the Berkshire (MA) / Columbia (NY) County areas. Grilled in a mere 12m to perfect 135° centers. I think the Chuck cut for a steak is quite under rated; it's incredibly moist and tender with it's incorporated fats that just fall apart under high heat.
I fell to the same fate on this bottle as the prior a few years back, perfectly clean cork but extracted in 3/4 & 1/4 status. Should use the Durand for subsequent bottles. — 5 years ago
Eleven years old and still fresh and alive. Bit of petrol on the nose then petrichor. Bits of citrus and lychee. Started toward sweetness but then went dry for a long finish. Beautiful with grilled Berkshire pork chops. Acid from the wine a perfect foil for the fattiness of the pork. Delicious. — 6 years ago
Support your local restaurants! Beautiful Berkshire pork chop dinner from the Selland restaurant group!
1.5 hour decant( lots of chunky sediment). A splendid dark ruby red color. On the nose: black fruit, floral, black olives, with a hit of pine/menthol. Taste: cedar, black cherry, licorice, with a chocolate metallic finish. A soft wine..tannins mostly resolved...a medium body, medium acidity, with a medium plus finish. — 6 years ago

How does anyone not hoard (regular) Sazerac at ~$25?!
Incredibly smooth, great sweet note to the finish. Again, why haven't I not been buying this for years...?
(BTW Kirkland Bourbon at $30 is worth the price of admission, earthy oak note on the palate is quite similar to Buffalo Trace.)

Surprisingly Eagle Rare 10 is highly allocated this year if you’ve had in the past. One bottle only on K&LConsumed last week with a Berkshire pork chop done on the Traeger grill. Yes, can you believe how well this value Riesling ages! Young and vibrant texturally, light secondary petrol-like flavors on the nose and palate. It’s not so much that a wine is for the cellar, as THIS wine aged well in the home cellar. — 6 years ago
