Sweet, perhaps slightly confected, cherry notes. Savory and smoke. Maybe a little chemical. Bacon fat, but still some fruit lingering in there. Perhaps too sharply acidic now compared to its best. A touch harsh. But nonetheless pretty good at 9 years. Not sure it's got the oomph to go much more distance.

Smoky, sweet cherry notes, and a real deep note of thyme. Meaty, bacon. Menthol lift. Spicy palate. Delicate, sour cherry fruit. May just squeeze another year out of this.

Meaty, smoked bacon aromas. Savoury stewed fruit. Mature. Drink up soon.

Smoky earthy baked redcurrant fruit aromas. Soft, fleshy palate. Stewed red fruits. Developed. Drinking well now.

Smoky bacon aromas, mature fruit, baked perhaps. Roasted beets, savoury palate, enough fruit holding up well. Very nice and ageing gracefully.
