  December 28, 2023 - 12.7% abv (!), 53° F. NOSE: certainly oak; also pan-drippings; mulled apricots; tarragon; charred lemon peel; smoldering, chipped stone. MOUTH: fallen nectarines; bass/tenor acidity. The tension here is between juicy playfulness and prolific detail for pondering. Quietly driving the action from the background is a sense of misty, green fertility: raw wild mushrooms, wood litter, fescues and ferns. Structurally, it's as resilient as it is improvised/discovered. Acids are salty brass and resonate for minutes. Fructological repletion never intrudes on manifold details and edges. Remarkably mature fruit flavors saturate animated texture. The bottle itself is mature, too!—vinous, not grapey. Returning to the aroma confirms piercing, stiletto fossil energy. It gains clarity as the bottle drains. The last drink was the best, striding well beyond the clarity and precision of the first drink, even with its gain of sweet, oozing drupaceous-ness. 91.1 points. Feinherb in a wood frame.
