Wednesday, February 23, 2022 - Oh good Lord. OK. Wow. Nose is beyond belief. And so tannic still after 24 years. Pure, so pure - simply extraordinary. Forest/hedgerow berries, woodsmoke. This is a thing of great beauty. Of course. Chocolate, dustings of cocoa, wet slate, mint, tobacco, dark cellars and dungeons and mysterious nooks and crannies. Fascinating. But not something I would pay silly money for. Which is what it costs - silly money.
