February 13, 2024 - A little sedimented and ruddy.
Some pencil lead, cedar, currant.
Smooth and full.
Pleasantly surprising finish.2 people found this helpful Comment -

January 14, 2024 - Beautiful aromatics, flowers and pipe tobacco. Dark blue fruits, cool ash and graphite. Grippy tannins and bold finish. Bit of a hole between mid palate and finish. Great BDX value. Needs time. Will wait 5 years before opening another.

December 26, 2023 - Another nice bottle on PnP. Has that certain something dark, shiny, glossy appearance. Very fine, classy, suave fruit nose. Rich and full fruit in the mouth, too. This is delicious now, probably even better with more bottle age, I it is so tasty now it is tough to keep my hands off it. 5-12-17-8: 92/100.
