Friday, January 8, 2021 - That American oak. There is something becoming of American oak and OZ fruit with 20+ years of age. Don’t get me wrong, this is still incredibly fresh, big, and ripe. Not my preferred style, but I still have to tip my hat. OTOH, I could also say it took 20 years for this to become enjoyable.
Nose of big brooding fruit, herbs, chocolate, coconut and banana. Very new world. Layered palate, smooth and finally balanced. Very nice with 20+ years to go.
