Nov 21st, 2021Stunningly balanced, sophisticated and elegant. Subtle on the nose, round and substantial on the palate. Beautiful fruit, black currant, tobacco, some cigarbox. Great density with silky tannins. Long and lingering finish. My seventh bottle from a case on release - better each time with secondary and tertiary notes developing beautifully.

Jun 26th, 2021After decanting for 3 hours, this was full of flavor. Spice, Smokey with a hint of leather on the nose. Tart Cherry but bold fruit on the tongue. Finished with chocolate spice! Thankfully I have 5 more of these.
