Last bottle, and I must say I’m glad they’re gone. This was the best of the lot, but these were about as inconsistent as they come. Still inky dark in color and showing no signs of bricking. Nose and palate of dark fruits with hints of chocolate.

L-M 정도의 탄닌, 전형적인 오크 바닐라 향이 많이 나오고 부드러움. 율러지가 조금 있어서 걱정했지만 우려와는 너무 달랐음, 제대로 잘 열려서 까쇼가 가진 전형적인 아로마가 폭발한듯, 13빈이 기대됨.

it still has a strong structure to go on for another 5 years easily. 2 hrs of decanting wasn't enough.... really good
