Cognac Tesseron, XO perfection, No. 53 NV
France, Cognac
A+
   For daddy's 60th. Smooth as silk, didn't even need dilution. Stewed figs, plum, prune, smoky oak. Fine balance, coupled with lightness and balance. Aristocratic. Awesome stuff
Hizo Koshu, Hokusetsu Sake NV
Australia
A-
   Forced to put a country, and Japan wasn't on it. Australia's the closest geographically. Why do i keep detecting chicken essence smell-alikes? Together with caramelized pear, fermented sweet glutinous rice, red dates. Rich and heady, both the nose and on the palate. Very fine, distinctly different
Bussola Amarone TB 2004
Italy
A-
   Sweet on the palate, attractive, though simplistic. Very ripe fruits, big but not as monumental (overwhelming?) as the Kaesler. Overall very enjoyable
Kaesler Old Bastard 2006 Syrah/Shiraz
Australia, South Australia, Barossa Valley
B+
   Huge, unctous, loads of fruit. nose of chicken essence and soy sauce, interestingly enough. fascinating, but lacking that grace. very bombastic
D'Arenburg Dead Arm Shiraz 2005 Syrah/Shiraz
Australia, McLaren Vale
B+
Clos Figeuras 2005
Spain, Priorat
B+
Puligny Montrachet, Domaine Leflaive 2005
France
A
   once again, very elegant, but could do with more age
Haut Brion 1998
France, Bordeaux, Graves
A
   too young now. extremely good, but how much of it was due to the brand? would be interesting to taste this blind
