DOUBLE GOLD: New York World Wine & Spirtis Competition
Originating in the Phillipines, this drop is magnificently agedin used Bourbon barrels for 7 years. Silky smooth with elegant flavors, almonds, dried dark fruits, and island spices. The richness of vanilla and notes of oak effortlessly lingers on the finish.
Crafted from premium heritage sugarcane grown in the volcanic soils and tropical climate of the Philippine Islands, Tanduay truly embodies the bold, lively, and creative spirit that is distinctly Filipino.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
