Thursday, April 16, 2020 - Just opened, temperature is a little cool yet. Initial tasting, not much flavor, dry with some light cherry flavor hints. Color shows nice aging. Not much odor; a little pepper. Relatively smooth. A little tannic on the back end. ....2 hours later, opening up; much nicer. Taste developing; heavier on the cherry (medium, not sweet nor tart). tobacco.
Day 2 (24 hours later). Color/ age is good. Dry, mild, not tannic, very mild blackberry, but flavor is waning. No depth....I was expecting something better. Can't see storing this and aging for improvement. Will finish, but, don't recommend.
