Nose: violet, hawthorn berry, gamey, licorice, spices notes: Still very dark color, medium palate. The nose was quite complex and interesting as it suggests quite a few more years of cellaring before it fully matures. My first time from this maker and I think I should be a bit more patient and wait a few years before trying this again. Drink: 2026- 2040 Rating: 90

Sat Night Chillin in the East!: See previous notes - this bottle did not have the issue of heat. Not one of the better vintages for me but overall still enjoyable.
