Description

James Suckling Review
Rated 98
Powerful, polished and impressive, showing great concentration and depth. A good portion of petit verdot adds even darker fruit to the majority of cabernet sauvignon. This offers dried blueberries, crushed blackberries, cocoa, graphite, minerals and dusky plums on muscular tannins that will carry it for decades. Full-bodied. Best after 2030.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
