Thomas (and Charlie) Comes to Town (RPM Italian - Chicago, IL): 81 has been a fickle year in BDX for me. Some are great, others are shot. This kinda straddled both. It started off with some really nice cherry, tobacco, and earthy notes, but quickly descended into an acid bath. Really enjoyed it when it was first opened.

Mahogany ruby appearance. Classic, singed, meaty bouquet of briars, conifer, fresh-worn, leather loafers, truffles, flowers, and pepper spice. Smooth, firm, and clean in the mouth, with notes of blackberries, cherries, and a touch of dried mint. Very likeable.

Aged bordeaux nose with lillies, trufles and forrest floor. Light garnet color. Still some fruit, but not much.
I liked it.
