Friday, October 15, 2021 - Very dark colour but pale brick at edge.
Not much expression in the nose, mostly (the usual) vanilla, spices, forrest floor and dark fruit.
Taste is big and bold and wood is all over. Long aftertaste (from the wood elements) otherwise not much going on except for a dry aftertaste. Missing complexity and charm.
Not impressed after 14 years of waiting. Not sure if the solution is to keep remaining bottles makes it better or worse.
