March 7, 2021 - Super dark ruby red almost black in decanter and no bricking, lots of throw to filter out. Great aromatics. Believe this is sailing through its pinnacle, 3+ hours of air time, dark currants, sweet tobacco, and mocha flavors with a kiss of fennel all sang beautifully throughout multiple delicious courses of mushroom toast, duck crepes, and dark chocolate dessert. Was nice and smooth on the fairly long deep finish. Great stuff and could easily go another 3 - 5 from here I suspect.

July 5, 2019 - Medium garnet, some fine sediment
Red currant and cranberry notes when first opened, turning to strawberry and cherry after about 2 hours in decanter
Rich strawberry and cherry, with leather, cedar and tobacco.
Final bottle from original case of twelve, still very good, but flavours starting to become a little muted.1 person found this helpful Comment -

Clean, red and black fruits, soft oak and vanilla
Dry, with medium acidity and high tannin, full body and long finish
Predominantly dried black fruit, but with hints of red cherry and cassis, with subtle coffee and chocolate notes
