Tuesday, February 27, 2024 - Stood up for a few days. Cork soaked but in great shape, no leaks great fill. Slow ox for 4 hrs, double decant (lots of sediment) and took to dinner. Tight meniscus with only about 1.5 MM of clear edge. Strawberry xmas cake, caramel dried cherry and deeper notes of toffee and some nut. Ticks off all the boxes nicely. A bit sweet on the entry but excellent balance due to the right amount of acidity. Smooth mouth feel fairly full. No heat or VA. Finished broad and fairly long (45-60 seconds). Very impressive and a worthy comp to this year's version of Graham in overall quality. Even better with air and a few oz left over even smoother and more precise the following day. Should be good for another decade or more but at a very nice place. Yes please.
