Crazy good LBV. Note there is tons of sediment here as the filtering was minimized. The result is an LBV that aged more like a VP. The extended wood exposure is not a detriment as it is fully integrated. Sweet dark red and black fruit with some fig/date notes touches of spice and tobacco leaf, this is very much alive and pleasing. Insane value considering the initial outlay. Crazy as it sounds it may even get better from here.
