March 9, 2019 - Starting to lean towards astringency, and I don't see anything here to support more aging. Drink up.

August 22, 2016 - Dark and fragrant with plum, smoke. Seems a bit over-extracted as the coffee notes are slightly over power in I the florals. Not bad at all but tries a bit too hard...
