April 8, 2017 - A true pleasure to drink and holding together well for 15yrs but I doubt it will get better with further bottle age. Smoky earthy nose, tight acid backbone, palate is soft cherry. Very smooth, mid length, with no tannins to speak of.

October 22, 2016 - A Superbly aged blend with an earthy nose and tertiary flavours of leather and tobacco dominating the palate. Drinking well now but no signs of fading. A pure enjoyment to drink.
