Musty and slightly dirty but with very good concentration and slightly backward structure. An odd bottle vs previous experiences.

Black currant, cassis, green pepper, cigarbox and slightly sweet spice. Very good textures and nuance. Almost identical to the bottle from last night.

Bottle with great fill and color. Started out slightly musty/ backward, but this really exploded in glass after 10-15 minutes. Complex and unfolding array of black fruit, nuanced spice and forest floor. Very extended and lingering finish. Thanks for bringing something this long, John Holmes!

Very top shoulder fill, perfect color. Enchanting aromas when first poured, with cigarbox, cassis and cooked mushroom. Similar flavors but less intense. This was best when first poured, then gradually declined, but in an evolving, non-linear and complex manner.

Baked apple, honeycomb and tropical hints with good acidity to support the sweetness on moderately long finish.
