This was good, but not as good as the last bottle; a little more advanced, but still tasty. Darker fruit, mint, anise, tar, tobacco, and lavender. Good depth with still a fair amount of tannin; balance is still quite nice. Good stuff with upside.

93 pts on night two... 91 pts on night one... this btl needs more age, and a long decant... it was semi closed and therefore slightly harsh / acidic (without friendly elements of body -- ie fruit etc) on night one... on night two really opened up and become more friendly (even if bold)... I would wait 5-7 years or -- if impatient -- make sure to decant at like 8am for a dinner drink... better yet double decant the night before and have it 24 hours later

this was very nice, with a pungent / intense kaleidoscopic nose, and in the mouth it was on the elegant side (but had good body) with med ++ acidity... feels like it can go at least another 10 years... 92/93 pts

黑樱桃、李子、乌梅的成熟果味,还有明显的甘草、烟丝、玫瑰、焦油和泥土气息。香气在口中的集中表现略不及闻香,以酸度带来的愉悦感和果味的甜美为主导。单宁细腻,在高酒精的配合下呈现出温润的质感,以及年轻的紧致感。

Tasty but seemed pretty advanced.
