Wine Reviews
Castelli del Grevepesa Coltifredi Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2020
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of red currant, forest floor, and cedar with supporting notes of dried herbs, plum, cigar box, and rosemary. The palate echoes the nose delivering a red and black fruits-driven core with flavors of black cherry, baking spices, iodine, and slate. The finish is long and lingering with chalky tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a supple texture. $25 – 4 Stars/92 points
Spirits Reviews
Bespoken Twice Toasted American Whiskey
Brilliant, medium copper/bronze color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of candied ginger, dried fruits, and butterscotch with supporting notes of banana bread, crème brûlée, sweet hints of campfire, and oak. The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose, delivering a butterscotch-driven core with flavors of baking spices, cashew butter, treacle, and charred oak. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with an opulent texture. $44.99 – 4.5 Stars
