For the most part I prefer the earlier bottlings, across all the releases. I'm not sure yet if there's a dividing line or a slow slide or it's just my imagination. We'll see how this ends. Regarding the 2010 vintage, the palate was disappointing, partly because I enjoyed the nose so much, partly because it was bit flat and simple. I'd take the 2007 and (especially) 2008 over it.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-55640343114503133822021-03-06T14:59:49.651-05:002021-03-06T14:59:49.651-05:00So far, as this cluster is playing out, those earl...So far, as this cluster is playing out, those early young Machir Bays remain some of their best stuff.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-9948588660737968482021-02-21T21:18:59.478-05:002021-02-21T21:18:59.478-05:00Really interesting question about the potential or...Really interesting question about the potential or the peak. I can't wait to hear what you think. I just had a bottle of the 2010 Vintage, a 9 year old, and I don't think I liked it nearly as much as the 4-6 year old Kilchomans I've had—which I think are excellent—no need for any qualifications about "despite their ages." To me, the 2010 vintage was nearly technically perfect, but almost bland in its perfection.
