2019 Barramundi Shiraz. Delicious and approachable. Leather and smoke and a silky mouth. Will buy again.

29 bottles of Ring Bo Ree.

Mmmm. So good.

Caramel and oak and leather. Almost justifies the price. This was really amazing.

38 bottles of ringboree.

Earthy, leathery, and slightly yeasty at first but opening up with flowers and grass after a few minutes. It leaves me wondering if I like it. I shall come back to this in a glass or two. …

Later…

Well it’s growing on me but it’s still not a favorite. It’s just a little thin and a bit tart. 25 bottles of ringboree I think.

Bushmills is always Bushmills. And I suppose if you like consistency, that’s a very good thing.

I’ve just never been much of a fan.

Raisin. So much raisin. And chocolate.

On first opening it had that weird dill pickle aroma but this quickly gave way to a LOT of cherry and brown sugar which was kind of surprising to me.

Delicious but with a bitter/sour aftertaste that I really don’t care for.

So much pepper and coffee. Mmhmm. Delicious!

Peat and more peat. This was lovely and warm and chocolate and smoke. Very nice.

Alas, I did not take notes. I remember I enjoyed it but no details.

Honey and marmalade in the nose. Oak and sherry and vanilla in the mouth. Very nice. Would buy again.
