I'm missing the cranberry in other TNs -- this is all blue/black fruit to me. Tobacco, chocolate, hint of black pepper, and some new oak. Quite balanced overall, and much better on day 3, I'd leave this alone for another couple years before trying again.

Full bodied/waxy, melon with a hint of papaya, nutty/oak/oxidative qualities evident. Drinking nicely now but should cellar well.
