V09. Nice. Smoked Bacon and cedar nose. Fresh blackberry fruit. Smooth, dry, slightly tight finish. Very good.

Scents of bayleaf and blackberry. Black fruit, cigar box. Firm tannins that have softened with age

Jan 19th, 2019Mixed views. Initially, wasn’t great. W some air, it grew on me. But only a little bit. I have to admit, I’m not sure what it’s missing. A bit tight. Fruit is faint. After a day, less impressed. Maybe too young?
