My instincts suggest cellaring 2-3 years

very sweet and thick

Harmonious acidity gives the flavors a juicy quality

the 1982 remains fresh

The Siro Pacenti 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva PS is modern

Hendricks Gin (750ml) Valpolicella My instincts suggest cellaring 2-3This gin has a fierce following, in part because of its quirky brand personality (see the Monty Python esque website) and aggressive marketing among bartenders. But it lives up to the hype. Some might expect a more concentrated rosewater cucumber profile, but its relatively subtle, with just a hint of cucumber mingling with juniper in the aroma, and white pepper, citrus and floral notes on the lingering finish.
