C.L. Butaud Tempranillo Texas High Plains 2021
See the Full BevX Featured Review
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of black plum, raspberry, and cigar box with supporting notes of rose petals, graphite, and dried herbs. The palate confirms the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of black cherry, bramble, slate, and hints of tamarind. The finish is long and lingering with ripe tannins. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with an opulent texture. $54 – 4.5 Stars/94 points
Spirits Reviews
Kentucky Owl Confiscated Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Brilliant, deep amber color. The nose is filled with the scents of toasted oak, caramel, brown baking spices, and saddle leather with hints of spring flowers and dried herbs. The palate echoes the nose delivering an orchard fruit and toffee-driven core with supporting notes of brown baking spice, graham crackers, cigar box, toasted oak, and toffee. Full-bodied and nicely balanced offering a rich core with very vibrant flavors, which is admirable considering the strength. The Whiskey’s source(s) and mashbill are unknown. $124.99 – 4 Stars
