Delicious Margaux Bordeaux enjoyed with Red Snapper at Truluck’s, Naples, FL — 2 months ago
End of the fiscal year. Long one but a good one so this is an exhausted versus drown sorrows drink ;) Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2024 (12 Year, 107 proof)
Nose is surprisingly light for the proof. Soft sweetness, light oak, and a hint of rye spice.
On the palate it isn’t heavy, but it fills the whole mouth. The heat shows early and stays present, reading higher than 107. Sweetness is there but restrained. More spice builds with time, rye-forward and focused on the tip and top of the tongue, with some grip on the cheeks. Oak stays light rather than deep or dusty.
Bit hotter than I’m feeling I want tonight. — 4 months ago
2017 vintage.74 Cabernet Sauvignon, 21 Merlot, 4 Cabernet Franc, 1 Petit Verdot. This is an absolutely brilliant, elegant 2017, with a beautiful balance and impressive length. — 3 months ago
Dark berry fruit forward, baking spices, luscious mouth feel, balanced tannins with cherry pie finish. Delightful. — 4 months ago
2022 vintage. Deep dark red colour. Raspberries, flowers and cedar. Concentrated, intense. Combines power and elegance. Many Crus Classés would be very satisfied with this quality for their grand vin. Henri Lurton stated that he made his best wines ever in 2022 (which is saying a lot given the track record of this Château), and you can see why with this Baron de Brane. One can only imagine the quality of the grand vin in 2022! Anyway, this is one of the finest wines one could encounter for 30 euros. Abv. 14%. — 2 months ago
