Sunday, December 24, 2023 - What a legend!
Enters the mouth with INTENSITY and sweetness. It's obvious that 1853 was an outstanding vintage and that this long-kept barrel (bottled in 2001) is never going to die. This is rich, long (triple marathon), complex, intense, interesting, delicious and magnificent.
Not awarded 100 points because it is a bit disjointed and not quite having its isht together. Hopefully soon!
