Sunday, November 15, 2015 - Raspberry and vanilla on the nose. Medium bodied and still very much a black raspberry black cherry show. Retains the nice mineral qualities on the finish and the length was still good. My only complaint was that the alcohol and the oak shone through slightly in this bottle where they almost totally hidden in the prior three. I suspect it was just negative bottle variation as nothing in the prior three made me think it would reach this point for at least another two years. That said, I think it best to drink these sooner rather than later based on how well my last few bottles showed - I wouldn't want to miss that. I don't see any upside to holding this longer.
