Monday, October 27, 2008 - Pepper and strawberry syrup over blackberry after one hour of decanting, but it was so tight and so fiercely tannic I thought it was unlikely to come out of it. But at three hours, some sweet caramel notes show up, the fruit gets round with cherries, juicy and huge.
This is the best bottle I've had yet. It's drinking great now, but only with a long decant. 95-96.
