Isle Of Arran

Arran

Sherry Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I was so excited when I tasted the original Arran 10 that I went out and bought all the variations I could find. However, I found them all to be slightly disappointing, including this one. There is an odd thinness on the palate and an off putting sour note on the back end which I did not enjoy. I’ve been trying a lot of “sherry bomb” whiskies lately and this was my least favorite. — 16 days ago

Vietti

Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo 2016

Happy to be out of the routine. In Isle of Palms SC. This wine is without question a baby and I feel a bit ashamed to end its slumber. Rosey with tall tannins. Excellent but better later.

Talisker

Talisker Dark Storm Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

Smoky Peaty and spirity aromas Also Iodine and Briny notes showing its maritime location. A single malt matured in charred oak casks. There is some conjecture as to whether Talisker is classified as Island or Islay but suffice to say it is the only Distillery on the Isle of Skye. Had a tour of Talisker many years ago after going to the HQ of the MacDonald Clan on Skye. I bought this 1 Litre bottle at Gatwick Airport about 2 months ago before we headed up to Inverness and the Highlands. — 5 years ago

Chatto Wines

Isle Huon Valley Pinot Noir 2022

Delectable, this was the Intrigue Pinot Noir by Chatto, not in your database. We tasted this after the Home Hill Reserve Pinot Noir that I brought along. All wines tasted blind. Compared to the luscious Home Hill this was very stalky showing a high percentage of whole bunch. Smoked and earthy aromas together with savoury dark cherry. Great winemaking on show from Jim Chatto. In Mick’s Cellar last Saturday. — 5 months ago

Château Dalem

Fronsac Merlot Cabernet Franc 2012

An 18th century chateau, overlooking the Isle valley, facing Pomerol and the Saint-Emilion limestone hillsides, belonged to the same family for three centuries took over by Michel Rullier in 1955, and his daughter Brigitte took the helm in 2002. Dark Ruby with an array of berry aromas and smoky scents. On the palate plum and cherry flavors with cacao, tobacco and smoky cedar notes with herb spice. Firm chalky tannins, long finish ending with earthy mineral notes. Still tasting ok, but drink now! — 4 years ago

Domaine Isle Saint Pierre

At 8.99 a bottle this is an excellent blend and the addition of Tannat to the blend gives it a little something that is wonderful. — 5 years ago

Storm Wines

Santa Ynez Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Drinking this in Kauai is perfect. You can’t tell where the smells of Kauai cut grass, rain, and flowers end and this wine begins. Grapefruit, lychee, grass, papaya, some tart green apple underneath, but wow does this taste more tropical on the island. This always reminds me of the beach in SB but now will transport me to the garden isle as well. — a year ago
