Never had this young but right now it's clearly over the hill and out of balance. Lots of alcohol dominates the nose and palate. Very little character left at all, if it was ever interesting. This would be fine to pour for guests that wouldn't now the difference, fill their glasses all the way up they will love it.

Much improved over the last bottle, notes of tar, leather, dried herbs and spiced fruit. A little over the hill, but I'd hedge a bet that bottle variance would be a bigger factor than age.

Lots of alcohol burn, cloying sweetness. Not very appetizing.
