Togni Rebaioli San Valentino 2014

porch-pounding Cinsault from the gifted son of a Rhone legend (Eric Texier)

a glorious premium rum with likely the most striking (and creepy) bottle since the invention of packaging with its stand-out artist rendered shrunken head bottle

Bottled from a single barrel from the Jack Daniel distillery

low rye bourbon packing spice

toasted ginger and peppercorn

with a touch of cinnamon and ginger

slightly smoky and complex with an intense and quite full-bodied palate of peach and melon balanced by a zap of minerality

this season

Crushed salt-slicked minerals amid long stewed orange marmalade appear coating the tongue

It’s tropical

the passion to create the project is very old fashioned

This wine is Patti Smith's "Horses" on a day when you just want to burst out of the office and take in LIFE
