Delicious and savory with spiced blackberry cobbler, blueberry & plum jam, and mild anise on the nose. On the palate rich and decadent with dark, jammy fruits and clove. Thanks @Shay A for recommending “Put a Cork In It” up in FW. That place, as well as the others you recommended, were on-point 👌🏻

3 years since last tasted and it’s great! I remember thinking I shouldn’t touch for awhile. I’d say it’s now in window and on the upslope.
Palate is great. Dense mouthfeel chocolate, candied currant, anise, rhubarb?, baking spices, and cedar with grainy, almost sandy tannin. Long finish. All of those things coming together pretty nicely. Upping a point.

So dense! This is still really young and will do well to sit for another 2-20? years. Let sit for four hours and enjoyed the tightly packed currant, anise, cedar, dark fruit and big, but integrated tannins. Looking forward to opening once a year to see what fruit comes out.
