Pokeno Revelation ‘Bourbon and Red Wine Cask’ Single Malt 700ml
A marriage of spirit fully aged in first fill bourbon and New Red Wine casks from one of our favourite wineries. It is then finished together in cask for a final period of maturation.
Soft red summer fruits, with notes of fresh cut hay, strawberry bonbons, lychee and sherbet combine for a sweet and smooth taste of summer.
Produced entirely from New Zealand ingredients, and distilled, matured and bottled at their state-of-the-art distillery, the Pōkeno range of single malts honours the pure spirit of Aotearoa New Zealand.
The wine looks like one I shall enjoy and boast of once having consumed it.I intend sharing this splendid red with our son over Christmas - happy to furnish you with a tasting review then and , hopefully, purchase a few more bottles.
Took a punt on the 2011 Kairos Sauvignon Blanc & was pleasantly surprised at the drinkability of aged Sauv, I do not usually drink Sauvignon Blanc's but after drinking the Kairos I will drink more.
A little bit of pungency evident upon opening and best to let it breath for 30 minutes or so and the pungency dissipated and then the wine started to show its best - good fruit, vanilla/oak, balance and elegance!
