Wine Reviews
Kopke White Colheita Port Oporto 2008
Brilliant, medium golden to amber color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of orange peel, apricot, and vanilla custard with supporting notes of quince paste, dried pineapple, and honeysuckle. The palate confirms the nose delivering a ripe and dried orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of dried fruits, ginger biscuits, and sultanas. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with an opulent texture. $35 – 4.5 Stars/95 points
Kopke 20 Years Old White Port Oporto
Brilliant, medium golden to amber color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of orange peel, dried fruits, and honey with supporting notes of chamomile, bees wax, and hints of caramel. The palate echoes the nose delivering a ripe and dried orchard fruits-driven core with flavors of rich sultanas, apricot stone, roasted nuts, and citrus zest. The finish is long and lingering with a beautiful dose of acidity. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a supple yet vibrant texture. $50 – 4.5 Stars/95 points
Spirits Reviews
Four Roses Single Barrel 10-3 T Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Brilliant, medium copper to amber color. The aromatics are complex and seductive, offering scents of brown baking spices, vanilla, baked pear and apple, vanilla bean, and hints of maple-soaked oak. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a caramel and fruit-driven core with waves of black plum and red berries. Full-bodied and ideally balanced with a great length. $51.99 – 4.5 Stars
