There had to be something wrong with this bottle. I remember it being bright, driven, opulent, and long, whereas this was nothing short of boring. Dead fruit, little structure, a weak nose....there was no oomph at all. I hope it was just heated and that the others of this bottle were as good as I remember them being.

This keeps getting better. Excellent cooked dark fruits, black cherry, great oak treatment, one of the best I have seen for a while. Superior length, great grip. Some anise, cocoa, vanilla, violets....a really fantastic nose. I'm getting more.

A fine, rich blend. Chocolate and espresso dominate, well presented and strong blueberry and black cherry spring up on the nose. smooth and rich full bodied. Surprisingly good acid. Excellent QPR.
