  Beauty and the beast!
  On one hand delicate flavors of ripe cherry, cranberry, licorice, on the other hand a lot of black pepper, grippy tannins, vivid acidity. But wait... all of them play in unison's lovely melody.
  Long, long finish with everything I mentioned. Very juicy, very drinkable, high quality, no boring from the beginning to the end. Powerful, no doubt about it and I like it this way.
  Aromas? Also great.
  Smoke, earth, kirsch, vanilla, plum, black cherry.
  2 hours in the decanter.

  Consisten note, but really too oaky to be liked. On the plus side, seems very young even at 6 years of age
