February 3, 2019 - PnP notes before a decant: Nice sweet cedar and tobacco, dark ripe blackberry, even a little floral. Texture is very plush and silky. Medium to full in body. Finishes with a spicy kick.
After a ~3 hour decant the nose actually seemed to close down a bit, but a big swirl brought it back out again.
I think the component that stood out most to me about this bottle was the texture.3 people found this helpful 6,342 views

In addition to the darker fruit I picked up some type of mocha or cocoa on it which was nice (on the Quilceda Creek).
