I bought this for the winter months and finished the last of it over the weekend. This is a blended malt named in honour of Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese Whisky. He was the first Japanese who mastered Whisky making in Scotland and brought this expertise back to Japan. It was an incredibly pure and rich Whisky with a certain smokiness. I don’t drink enough Whisky to know the difference but this could easily have been Scotch to my palate. 43% ABV. — 3 years ago
Very smooth and easy to drink. Had some hard candy notes on the nose and taste. — a year ago
Mostly Grenache from 100 year old vines (and mostly from Châteauneuf-du-Pape) this is a blend of five vintages between 2010 and 2017. Medium Ruby, wonderful red fruit and garrigue on the nose with wild strawberry, raspberry, red currant, black cherry, earth, lavender, forest floor and leather. Elegant smooth tannins, long finish. Wonderful wine — 4 months ago

Full bodied and complex wine. Notes of blackberry, currant, pepper and floral. Wine feels a bit young even after decanting for 2+ hours. Excited to see what it will be in a handful of years. — 4 years ago
