Fantastic bottle with some earthiness, tobacco and red fruit. Slightly grippy but not offensive. I'm very pleased!

This was singing. About 3 & 1/2 hour decant. Cigar box, still fresh, dark fruit, good acidity--wonderful stuff.

Sadly, this bottle was at end of life - barnyard with no finish - very disappointing.

Strawberry and cherry notes. Finish on the truffle. Pretty well balanced for a 14 years old!

Had all the right things going for it, soft nose and mouthfeel that lured you in. Good until mid palate where it left you hanging and faded away.

More approachable than I expected, with plenty of dark fruit, anise, and a little earthiness and ample, but well-integrated tannin.
