Saturday, February 10, 2024 - I decanted for about two hours, since it was very closed upon opening. Then it came to life.
The nose let out cherries and black currants, with hints of vanilla. The palate had acidity to match the grippy tannins; it was fresh, round, with elegant and fruit forward palate of tart cherries, raspberries, and red currants. Cocoa beans and some secondary notes preceded the long ending that showed coffee and sandalwood notes.
Complex, layered - elegant; more Old Workd than California. I liked it a lot, but a bit less than the Elderton Command 2007 I had next to it. No need to wait any longer, but no rush either.
