  November 16, 2019 - Showing its age, but this bottle was well stored and has aged well. Notes of bramble and under brush. I really liked it, and adjusting for its 100+ years this drank very nicely. Is it on the downslope? Sure but it's a 1909, of course it is.

  November 1, 2019 - Opens with scents of an old basement and some sidewalk-stomped bubblegum. But it tastes, thankfully, better than it smells, and it cleans itself up with about 15 minutes in the glass to find its sea legs. It's extremely light-bodied in material and in literal color - down to watercolor-strength in both departments - but there's nevertheless some spirit left in it almost in the fashion of an eau de vie that blossoms very fully on the palate notwithstanding the only-barely-corporeal material that's left, and the texture is satisfyingly slick and smooth. The fruit is basically a distant memory - even the patina of old fruit is on the faded side - but there's some nuttiness and forest soil filling in some of the empty spaces.
