95 Points

Friday, February 1, 2008 - HDH 95/96 Comparative Tasting (Newberry Library, Chicago IL): nose: big heavy and brooding nose that has a ton of power behind it. It's on that verge of being too much, but it's right there in the pocket and filled with tobbacco, cedar, cassis, leather, and a nice jammy red licorice component

taste: big and broad with mocha, cocoa, leather, and earth

overall: there is some serious power behind this and yet, it's firmly balanced. This one still needs time to really come around, but it will be a fun ride when it does
