Brut Royal Grand Cru Champagne Blend

Sabered a jeroboam for #1500! Happy New Year. NV but developed really nicely 10 years later. Very fun — a month ago

5 Puttonyos Furmint Blend

Orange tinged pale golden colour. Excellent pure nose of apricot, iodine and spices. Unctuous on the palate yet supported by a great backbone of acidity. Great depth of flavour and very satisfying length. A great wine by any standard. — 5 months ago

Gut Oggau

Joschuari Rot Blaufränkisch 2020

Luxardo cherries up front with a definite earthiness. Very dry and sandy finish. On the bolder side. Had with a steak dinner and it paired beautifully. — 2 years ago

Kelly's Reserve Tasmania Pinot Noir 2014

Aromatic notes of rose and violet. Great depth of delicious flavour on the medium bodied palate. Red fruits - savoury and rich. See previous note for the 2014 - always excellent but 8 years of cellaring has enhanced this wine. To have won the Jimmy Watson Trophy for the Best One Year Old Dry Red at Royal Melbourne and still starring now at 8 years of age shows this is a wine for all seasons and all years. Should be a regular purchase. A Winner. — 2 years ago

Royal City Washington Syrah 2019

Earthy, blue fruit, smoked pork, olive brine, more alcohol on the nose than I recall, nice cigar smoke, dark ruby almost purple yet bright still, terroir driven with a sense of place. I feel like royalty with every sip. — 2 months ago

Royal Oporto (Real Companhia Velha)

Quinta das Carvalhas 30 Year Old Tawny Porto

Semi-sweet on the front end, smoky finish, making the barreling and age a defining characteristic. Brown-red color and nutty, caramel notes. Exceptional tawny port (as it should be) — 10 months ago

Crown Royal

Extra Rare XR Canadian Whisky

This is the 'Red' version from the Waterloo distillery decommissioned in 1990...the best they ever produced. Secondary market pricing on this makes most of the current and difficult to source Suntory products seem like a bargain... — 2 years ago

Interesting. How does one know if it’s the “Red” version? Is there some identifier

@Norman Gennaro The neck label, plus the bottles indicate Waterloo or LaSalle on the front.

Tokaji Furmint 2022

Crushed oyster shell, hay, lemon, lime, pear, a flowery thing, too. The palate is super dry, with a nice tension, some peary and lemony notes all along, an electric mouthfeel, a powerful mid palate that expands, and a very long finish with some grip, peary and lemony notes and a tiny salty touch. Solid furmint 👌🏻 — 4 months ago

Love that varietal when made dry can be amazing - I wish it was more available in the USA

@Douglas Braun it's not very available where I leave neither (that is Poland) only a handful of references. The quality price ratio is off the chart though... My wife paid about $15 in equivalent local currency at the airport in budapest...

5 Puttonyos Aszú Tokaji Furmint Blend 1993

Outstanding! Liquid gold. A honey, mango, and apricot extravaganza! Granted, this is 5 and not 6 puttonyos, but it is hard to imagine anything better. — 2 years ago
