Very woody initially, which started to blow off after a couple hours in the bottle. Rich dark fruit favors give way to creamy vanilla oak with subtle tobacco and smoky notes. I can't see this holding up as well as other geyservilles. Alcohol was a bit off balance and tannins while present weren't terribly structural.
