1hr+ decant. Lovely purple, dark red color. Amazing nose of cigar box, dark cherries, and ever so subtle green elements. Wine was deep and chewy to start with a touch of vanilla and oak at the end, which wasn’t out of place at all! It did start to fade towards the end or I would have been @ 96. Reminded me of all those great Bordeaux’s we drank in London!! Finish was medium plus. Paired lovely with mustard and applewood marinated ribs. — 4 years ago
Great Thanksgiving wine! Dried cherries, rose petal, gum Arabic, cedar-Saigon cinnamon-oak, elderberry, currant, nutmeg, blueberries. Black pepper on entry softens to black and red cherry with lavender and violet. A touch of cherrywood a smaller touch of applewood, a minute touch of hickory and a nano shaving of mesquite. Laden with inlay. Sour blackberry finish speckled with lingonberries and myrrh.

Black cherry rim to rim. Rayon and linseed, baker’s chocolate, eucalyptus, graphite, peppercorn, applewood, dried mint, plum and black currant simplify the aromatics. Surprising fruit with juicy black currant, bits of blackberry, and black cherry meat. Graphite speckled, but fruit led. Pepper, cinnamon, clove and rosemary, black olive, cranberry, and tart red currant.

Applewood, poached pear, maple syrup and pecans with black lime, ginger lemon-honey, orange bitters, rosemary, baked sweet potatoes oozing créme fraîche, brown sugar and caramel. It’s a noseful! Hot, herbaceous mouthful on the coat. Warm maduro-caramel turns noir in the slanted chiaroscuros of toffee and brittle, respectively. Big lemon citrus with orange zest, banana bread, sage, allspice, mace, cedar, pipe tobacco puff, black raisin, with a svelte acid streak running the length of a generous satin mouthfeel. Impossible value here. Complex notes from the mash make this sparkle with edgy notes of bottled lightning. #Michters #Michterssmallbatch #Michterssmallbatchsourmash #Michterssourmash #whiskey #Anericanwhiskey #KYwhiskey #ky #fermentedmash #upcycledmash #mash #louisvilleky #Michtersdistillery — 4 years ago

Luv this Cab! A beautiful deep purple magenta color. Big aromatic notes: Blue-red fruits with a blackberry lift and a touch of perfume followed by herbaceous and meaty smoked applewood. OMG — yummy! Nice structure where the flavors and the feel of the wine is creamy, a bit jammy and coats the palate. Flavors of dark cherry fruit , milk chocolate, minerals and pencil lead with second notes of spice, cassis adding to its espresso long finish. — 9 months ago
