Liking this a lot after 13 years in the bottle. It’s definitely hit its peak and is drinking well. Super herbal and vegetal in a lovely way.
Aromas of green bell pepper, jalapeño, tomato leaf, mint, oregano, mixed brambly fruit, sweet tobacco, cocoa nibs, coffee, crème de menthe.
Palate is generous and plush but contrasted against fresh acidity and grippy but super fine tannins that have definitely softened with age. All in all this was a $29 shot in the dark but I’m very pleased!
