Domaine Pouy 2004 Cask #155 59.7%

Nose: Funky fruit, garlic, hint of sulfur, oyster crackers, bad clam chowder

Palate: Super ripe nearly rotten fruit, turned mangoes, pineapple, rambutan, pencil lead, kerosene or gas undertone, hint of garlic on tiny sips.

Rating: 4 (Ryan) 6 (Shane) / 10 – really reminds me of a big hogo rum a la hampden / long pond. If it wasn’t for the garlic this could be awesome. It’s so challenging and kind of upsetting.

Domaine Pouy 1998 #80 (Ténarèze; Grappe variety Colombard and Ugni Blanc) 58%

Nose: Tangerine tangerine tangerine, pineapple, some fun rum notes, anise reduction

Palate: Tangerine, salty, celeriac, slightly meaty note on the back palate – biltong, the wetter side of it, pipe tobacco, leather, black tea

Rating: 6 / 10 – the most approachable Pouy I’ve ever had. Experimenting with toasted cask finishes to add sweetness and balance it.
