Deep, dark purple color. Lovely berry aromas. After decanting, pick up tar and some chocolate notes, plus berry and currants. Terrific, as always! Think this has 2-3 years left.

Strong smoke on the nose almost a sulfur smell. Nice fruit with smoke and lots of pepper. Good QPR. Day 2. I have a mild cold so the nose is muted, mild smoke today but but could be the cold. Berry fruit, long lasting pepper and earthy tastes but the smoke is subdued. Sadly this is my last bottle.

Wonderful nose of smokey black fruit. A little bacon fat. Very balanced. Drinking great now but will not improve.

Our last bottle. Interesting fruit, but fading from where it was. Drink up!
