the most expressive among the trio, but still fell well short of expectations. a little sharp and short on the finish.
dense and thick, but closed for business. disappointing.
hint of smoke and coffee. not as opulent as torque. slightly better with time but not really singing.
notes of leather and game. better showing than the 91 flight but still somewhat tight.
best bottle of the night (after 3-hour decant) with floral and spice notes. but still pretty sharp and alcoholic. not really up to expectations.
minty and a touch synthetic. oak not fully integrated. needs another decade.
(see all 9 vintages)
