Pappy Van Winkle's 20y K. Bourbon Whisky (45.2%) (Release2011,G.bag)

The mid-palate of the broad-shouldered flavors is pliant yet intense and muscular while the driving finish possesses breathtakingly good depth and persistence on the imposingly structured but not really rigid or unduly austere finale

It is rich and pure

The 1949 is made in the mold of the 1953

It was the extraordinary 1950 Petrus

floral and stone elements that confer serious depth onto the red

culminating in a slightly austere and ever-so-mildly dry finish of solid though not exceptional persistence

It is difficult for readers who have never tasted Cuvee Madame to imagine a wine of such honeyed richness

especially within the context of the vintage

This trades a bit of elegance in favor of more aromatic complexity on the cool and pure mix of red currant

The supple and relatively forward medium weight flavors possess an appealing sense of energy

and toasty scents

even more youthful than the 1989 and 1990
