Sunday, March 29, 2020 - This needs a full 15 hrs of air to show all it has to offer.
Day 1: Mushroom, macerated wood, Alcohol, raisin, sweet sherry notes, Palate has Sweet edge, hints of oxidation (although cork was clean and tight), dry brown sugar, rounded silky mouth feel, Under pinning acidity keeps it vibrant. Showing more sherry then port,
Day 2: Subdued nose still, same as prior day but, black liquorish, black pepper, red fruits joined the party. Palate richer and offering more depth of fruit, red/black bush berries steeped in alcohol, Hot, There is an interesting red apple skin finish that lingers for quite some time. For my palate this was more enjoyable in year 20 of its evolution. Purchased upon release and stored accordingly in the bowels of my cellar. Enjoyed on its own as I wait for COVID19 to come knocking on my door. Drink up if you have any. I suggest pulling the cork 24hrs prior to service and just let it audouze someplace cool… Na zdrowie
