November 2, 2018 - I am not sure why we paid $100 for this on release; my wife must have liked the bottle.
That said it seems to have held up well enough. Mild bricking. Aroma of dark and stewed fruits cedar and vanilla. A slight forward sweetness in the mouth follow by a long, not unpleasant, tannic finish. Interesting more than enjoyable. -
