  Didn't taste as going a few weeks without alcohol, but the nose was definitely starting to turn (in the wrong way) to dried out/stewed tomato. My guess is it still is drinking well but reiterate "drink up."

  Black in glass with slight change from rim to center.
  
  Tobacco, blackberry jam, dried cherry, menthol, charred oak barrel. On palate, similar flavor profile ex. charred oak - more traditional blackberry vs. blackberry jam though. Full body, medium+ acidity and medium tannins with long finish. Will drink remaining bottles this year as the fruit could turn (dry out) in next year or so. Drank well tonight. 91+

  Didn't take formal notes - opened as starter bottle. Excellent upon opening but was tired after 4+ hours of air. Black fruit/tobacco/charred wood on nose/palate. Medium body with good fruit/acid/tannin balance.
  
  91-92 range. PNP and don't decant. Will drink remaining bottles in the next 3 years.
