Thursday, November 25, 2021 - A touch better than my previous bottle earlier this year - still too young. Did get much fuller and riper with 2 hours in the decanter -- nicer yet on day #2. Definitely tobacco and herbs show up but the fruit is front and center. Hoping layers of flavor and nuance show up in the years ahead.

From 2018, I have sampled each but only drank a bottle or 2 of each. Broken Shale is my favorite so far. Haven't tried the reserve. Also a bit tough since my experience with '18s in general make me believe they'll get better with another year or 2 in the bottle.
