Quite impressed how this has held up. Little fruit however BIG on everything else. Well aged, quite palatable. Smokey, large and commanding on the palette. Quite impressive for its age. Well cellared from birth.

well cellared for life......brought to room temp. once uncorked, presented tight. left in glass for 30 minutes...opened nicely. Dry, smooth hints of fruit and complexity. tobacco, cedar box notes, hint of tar. Pencil lead. After open for an hour completely changed and blossomed into a beautiful shining star. thicker/viscous mouthfeels, medium to long finish. very enjoyable.

Starts out sour and disjointed...needs a full 2 hours to begin to integrate...fading berries, plum, spice. not sure much more will happen here with age.
