Nose: Sweet sweet port, sweet ‘n sour chicken.
Palate: Cedar, that Balcones sour note dna, heavy oak. From the nose I was expecting more dark fruit but it didn’t carry through as much as I wanted.
Rating: 6 / 10
Nose: I poured this blind and it smells of cranberries and rose hips. Feeling kind of tickled… pink. A very sweet nose, confectioners powdered sugar. A pot de creme with a crackling candied crust. Pink peppercorn simple syrup. I’m really enjoying the smell, as I work on 2024 budgets. It’s an uplifting counterpoint to the crass realities of finance.
Palate: Oh … OH. a sugar bomb but not in the classic bourbon or thick syrup sherry vain. Not even the Sauternes or Tokaj as those come with a touch of funk (that I also enjoy). Reminds me of cultivating honeysuckles on the fence out behind verve. And the smell of passion flowers. Penny ice creamery would be making fresh waffle cones. It was a heady combo. Sweet vanilla notes and while I rarely gravitate to young grains, this complements those cereal notes so well. Like the first time I tried Life cereal.
Rating: 7 / 10 – I would easily reach for this on a day where I want a sweetie.
Nose: Kettle corn, peanut brittle, salted caramel taffy, roasted red bellpeppers reminding me of a sweet tomato pepper chutney, slight leather
Palate: Leather, pipe tobacco, affogato, mesquite, hard caramel with a bitter twist.
Rating: 7 / 10 – beautiful earthy sweat smokey flavors.
Nose: Chocolate covered espresso bean, tobacco leaf
Palate: Grapefruit peel, red wine vinegar, ginger, peach and black tea
Rating: 6 / 10 – fun and complex. But brighter than I wanted.
