West Indies Planteray Barbados (Saint Estephe Cask) 2018
Plum and red-wine notes lead here — the Saint Estèphe wine-cask finish shows clearly, with wood and leather sitting underneath the fruit. At 50.6% it's got some backbone but stays approachable. Several tasters call it fruity and a little unusual; one wasn't sure if he liked it, then decided the oddness worked in its favor. A well-made Barbados that goes its own way.
The community says- Plum and red wine
- Wine-cask finish
- But: Divisive oddness

Review by Martin Ekrt
Čekal jsem další nudu, ale tohle voní zajímavě. Asi to je tím finišem, protože z toho mírně zavání droždí s octem, ale převážuje ovocnost s nějakou cukrovinkou a vínem. Chuť je taky dost zvláštní, že vlastně nevím jestli mi to chutná nebo nechutná. Ta divná jinakost je nakonec za mě spíš k dobru.
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Next up is the Planteray Single Cask from Barbados. On the nose, it smells relatively fruity but also a little like wood and leather. The taste is quite solid, with a little fruit coming to the fore. Quite solid
