  January 31, 2021 - Brought to the table by HMC......wins WOTN to me. Slow oxed like 3 hours plus another hour or two in the decanter here at the house. So smooooooth, so integrated. Hard to beat. The fruit is just a tad subdued but many TK get that way. The energy provided by the acidic backbone carries this through a very nice ending and finish. Rich and elegant. I'm a sucker for structure. Thanks HMC!

  pretty classic BTK. Always drinks well, always needs time in the decanter. Slightly more earthy.

  July 14, 2019 - Napa 2019; 7/14/2019-7/18/2019: A really good effort here that had lots of air. Red fruit, tobacco and an earthy mineral streak. This was slightly muted compared to the Missouri Hopper, but I think this will age much better and win a marathon when comparing the two. The Hopper is for now and the next few years, the To Kalon is for later—definitely 98-99 potential with 7-9 years on it—if I can wait that long.
