Thank you! Big Grin

The Detert was really good. I'm sure it could use some more time, however I don't see anything wrong with enjoying it now.

We sure did!! I guess I'm just lucky Cool

The insignia was great! Like the Detert, I think it could use more time, but I really don't see anything wrong with drinking it now. I was, however, a little suprised (as it was my first insignia) at the overt influence of oak. It reminded me of the 05 Caymus in that the notes were dominated by mocha, espresso and cedar.

It's hardly basic. Very good stuff. I'm going to put a few bottles away for a year or two.
