Domaine Séailles 2000 Cask #17 53%

Nose: Reminds me a lot of the 1997 cask #27, but a little less intense and maybe more notes of honey. A balance that other cask truly needed. This is promising. Cedar. Raspberry jam tartlets. Fennel, more earthy on the nose. Toasted fennel seeds.

Palate: A very pleasant spice. Cedar. A lovely balance of wood, spice, and herbal.

Rating: 7 / 10 – yum yum. Was delicious when I visited and its still freaking awesome.

Dunville’s 19 Year Cask Sample Armagnac Grand Mole #17 (21.10.2022)

Nose: Plum butter, buttery: lemon cookies, shortbread with powdered sugar, unripe white peach

Palate: Lemon sour grass, elderflower syrup, clover, endives, grapefruit peel, sour mountain strawberries, cedar, a fun gin n tonic sour, with a fizz on the mouthfeel.

Rating: 7 / 10 – fruity and delightful. While I love sour, I worry others might find it too much. Tom Says all good and not to overthink it. He gave it a thumbs up. A little more body and this could be a solid 8. We both agree to let it run the summer and they try it again to see if it’s ready to bottle. This is nearly 20 years at time of sample in 2022. AHAHAHA it’s May 2026 and I am posting this note online and I haven’t bottled it yet. Hopefully this summer when I visit in person.
