Sunday, April 8, 2018 - This smells like a pine forest, or a drafting table full of pencils, or mossy wet boulders, or all of these things. It’s got that classic “cigar box” aroma, and so much more. Red currants with just a ghost of the black, Worcestershire sauce, celery root, lilacs, sauna rocks, fresh mushrooms from your lawn. Still has some tannic power all these years in, but it’s a fine, dexterous, classy power, and enough freshness persists to potentiate the red fruit and graphite into a glorious, glorious romp through humid subterranean grottos, up into the prickly currant bushes and fungi on the forest floor, and further up into the aromatic conifers and beyond into the ether.
