    superb stuff. this has won a few awards too... not as dark as the 8 either but it has a smoother and deeper sherry taste

    Nice dram that one

    L'Épiphanie Réserve de l'Harmonie Pauillac 2018, Bordeaux



    L’Épiphanie de Pauillac hails from Pauillac’s top tier – a Premier Grand Cru Classé estate. There are only three in the appellation: Lafite Rothschild, Mouton Rothschild and Latour, and this wine is from one of them.

    L’Épiphanie de Pauillac has blackcurrant, cherry and ripe plum infused with subtle spice, cedar and cigar box notes. These classic aromas combine with firm tannins for a complex wine with a long finish. Can drunk now, but cellaring will pay dividends - drink by end of 2028.

    14% ABV £25 a bottle

    got a pack of 3 in my last order all noble rebel from the loch lomond distillery.


    the listing says ; Nose: Sweet hay, green apples, and floral honey.. Palate: Malted milk, with more apple, pear, and some waxy orange peel, along with a drizzle of salted caramel.. Finish: Sweet and lingering, with some spiced apple pie.
    its firey but i will say its tasty too in its way, but for me and for 40 quid it needs to be a lot more and a lot more rounded. maybe 30 notes but not 40. still its as i say quite fruity anda bit firey on way down..

    they come in odd packs of 3 like this lol
    Suppose it's flat pack?
