  November 24, 2023 - Luscious and warm, inviting. Bold dark fruits with anise and tobacco leaf. The finish lasts until tomorrow, but it’s a long, slow smooth ride to that ultimate end. Oodles of years left in this of course. In fact, I’m probably drinking it a bit early although it does well both right out of the bottle (with an atypical closure for the region). Glad I have more!

  April 25, 2021 - Flowers, licorice, espresso, smoke, herbs and ripe dark cherries permeate the perfume. Soft, polished, lusciously textured on the palate, the silky finish shares the stage with ripe plums, savory herbs, sweet cherries and a touch of coffee bean. Give this 2-3 years more age in the bottle and it will be showing even better.

  February 26, 2021 - Parker would call this hedonistic. This sucker is a monster - black fruit, chocolate and a mountain of tannin. Leave it rest for another 7-10 years for a more mature drinking window. Its the right stuff, just a little early to consider drinking even with a long decant.

  July 29, 2020 - Luscious, opulent, ripe, rich fruits are all over the place here. Accompanied by licorice, chocolate, smoke, plums, cherries and espresso. Hedonistically styled, concentrated, round and deep, this is still in the primary stage. A few more years in the cellar will add a lot to this beauty.

  May 19, 2020 - Amazing on first day. Evolved even more on next. Will try to save last two bottle for another year before opening.
