December 22, 2019 - Aged beautifully. Some black cherry cola and mature red apple fruit, with a gorgeous vanilla oak note that admittedly overwhelmed the fruit a bit, even if it was very high-quality. I wouldn't wait much longer, might have been better several years ago when the fruit could sing a little louder, but overall a great bottle.
