October 25, 2022 - Nose: violet, hawthorn berry, gamey, licorice, spices
notes: Still very dark color, medium palate. The nose was quite complex and interesting as it suggests quite a few more years of cellaring before it fully matures. My first time from this maker and I think I should be a bit more patient and wait a few years before trying this again.
Drink: 2026- 2040

June 17, 2020 - CB Wine Night #17 (turned out to be the last CB Wine Night) - WT Last Day!: Took some time to open up but overall, nice drinking and enjoyable. Only thing was i felt there may be a slight tinge of heat damage which may have rocked the bottle a little. Open now 92/93
