Tawny and mostly opaque. Killer nose. Notes of plum, soy, anise, roses, some tar and dark earth. Sublime in the mouth. In a great place right now.

Tawny color. Clean and barely translucent. Opened and given 3 hours of air. Great nose. Notes of black cherry, roses, cranberries, tea, road tar, menthol, soy sauce and a little smokiness. Very big in the mouth. Fruit is matched against a lot of structure and backbone. Great tonight with osso bucco. Has a long life ahead of it.

Too much brettanomyces and funk. Been the case every time I've had Clerico's '90s.
