Definitely getting better with air. Started pretty hollow, but now has some black fruit, leather, and oak, with medium tannins. Black tea hit towards the end of the taste and into the finish. I liked it a bit better a year ago. Still good and with some life left, but I’d say drink ‘em if ya got ‘em!

Stellar as usual. Sad it's my last bottle.

Consistent with prior notes. I'm burning through these '10s quickly!
