Wow. Revelatory every time I drink it. Leather, tobacco, dried blood, tiny cherries, spices, fine red peppers, dried earth, palate is long, dry and jammed with red fruits. Long and fresh and wonderful stony tannins. Amazing stuff.

At first, dark berries & black currants took center stage, but as it got some air, forest floor, cedar, and fresh tobacco made its way into the spotlight. Layers of smooth, silky texture coated the mouth, and the bold, well-integrated tannins simply gave it depth along with a solid acidic backbone. It was stunning and didn't even give a hint of oxidation after being open for 3+ hours. What a treat for NYE.

12.5. Very interesting. This may require some research. Nicely integrated tannins.
