Sunday, August 23, 2020 - PnP at cellar temp- rich purple fruits, tobacco and cedar on the nose.
Blueberries, black pepper and tobacco in the mouth. 12 year old tannins are mostly resolved and the acid is on point. The wood makes its presence known texturally on the finish while also adding a little secondary flavors to the mostly smooth and ripe fruit.
Composed and drinking well over a couple of hours. Seems to be just entering the smooth and polished phase... Drink now and hold depending on your preferences.
