First opened it was very light. LOTS of light cherry. Over time it gained weight. Getting white peppery notes with dark berries now. No more light cherries. Getting earthy notes now with sage. A hint of rosemary. it keeps evolving. Very mature but still will be good for a few more years. I'm glad I waited all these years to open it.

Cherry with herbs. Even a bit of mint! Tasting fresh. Initially a bit tart but then mellowed out. And the flavors keep changing on the back end. Flavors keep going. Seems to be more new style than traditional. We opened a bottle four years ago and is much better today. Sadly, our last bottle. Was great with caramelized onions, mushrooms with ramps. Wife related the experience to the Smokey Mountains with rolling hills of flavor. Very poetic!

black fruit preserves and savory nuances. Tobacco and damp earth. Blackberries, roasted figs. Very dark and brooding. Did not get the classic pencil lead. Great now but will great for another 20 years. I have one bottle left and will open it for the next solar eclipse in 2044. The 2024 solar eclipse was today.
