Wine Reviews

Alluring, with buckwheat, singed cinnamon and sandalwood notes out front, backed by notes of hazelnut husk, Boston brown bread and sesame. Features a flash of green tea through the finish, which has a live wire of acidity harnessing everything.

Toffee and salted nuts. Caramel. Smoke. Dried cherry. Full-bodied. Medium sweet. Lots of dried fruit and butterscotch. Small amount of tannin tension gives this a sense of freshness. Drink now.

Caramel and butterscotch with some figs and dried fruit. Medium-bodied with a very fine texture that turns creamy. The finish shows milk chocolate, nuts and fruit. Medium sweet. Pecan pie.

A bright, ruddy tawny, with an olive rim. Vigorous on both the nose and palate, with a classy Cognac-like spirit character and lifted drive. Well-structured, with a walnut, green (tomato plant) and black cardamom edge to its tightly focused fruit notes of dried apricot and fig, along with hints of salted caramel. The penetrating, back-of-the-net finish is very precise, lingering and in the Taylor’s house style.

With an intense amber, tawny color, the wine has opulent, voluptuous, spicy, jammy and nutty aromas with orange blossom notes and a fine oak influence coming from the long aging in cask. The full palate is very rich, with concentrated flavor and a long, mellow finish.
