Rich, mature, but surprisingly vibrant at nearly twenty years of age, this offers deep aromas of new oak, dried cherry, curry spice and olive. Full bodied, resolved, but notably dense on the palate with a velvety feel to its cherry pie and sweet vanilla flavors. Impressively concentrated and deep for its age, this is slightly marred by its intense new oak flavors and astringently alcoholic finish.
