James Suckling Review
Rated 93
A ripe wine with violets, black plums, coffee grinds, vanilla, clove, wood smoke and licorice strap. The tannins at this address are an exercise in evolution over the years, akin to an emery board of precision and tension. 85 shiraz and 15% primitivo. Drink or hold.

How To Serve
- 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.
