EXP Dunnigan Hills Syrah 1998

Aged and in a magnum. What a fancy bottle. Joy to try this. Hint of rust red on the edge of the color. Nose is cherry cordial and herbs. Sage, marjoram, fresh wood. Flavors are lovely. Still has zip. Herbal. Lush. Complex. This is lovely aged Syrah. Has a bit of mystery and is nicely aged. — 3 months ago

Nikka Whisky Distilling Company

Black Label Taketsuru Pure Malt Whisky

I bought this for the winter months and finished the last of it over the weekend. This is a blended malt named in honour of Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese Whisky. He was the first Japanese who mastered Whisky making in Scotland and brought this expertise back to Japan. It was an incredibly pure and rich Whisky with a certain smokiness. I don’t drink enough Whisky to know the difference but this could easily have been Scotch to my palate. 43% ABV. — 3 years ago

They are wonderful whiskies. I had the pleasure of visiting the distillery in 2006…wish I had saved a few bottles! Highly recommend a visit!

Totally agree Andrew. In 2018 I had a skiing trip to Niseko with my son and many of their better whiskies seem to come from the Island of Hokkaido.

Gold Edition Bourbon Whiskey 2024

Blanton's Gold tastes like Blanton's, but it's 103. Obviously over-hyped, but very good.

Soft flex showing a Blanton’s Gold with a Pappy in the background. Not very soft either…

Love the dried fruit (Black Current and fig ) to go along with blueberry. The wine exhibits both power and finesse and has a very pleasant lingering finish — 4 years ago

Michael David Winery (Michael & David Phillips)

Zinfandel 2022

This is enjoyable in a massive CA overripe wine style! There’s a good amount of all the peppers, bell, jalapeños, white, cracked black, huge amount of purple/black fruit. Jan. Vanilla and some woodsy notes. I’d drink again. — 7 months ago
