This is the second bottle. More concentration, density with a broader stance. Drinking younger than the first. Hard to decide, but I give a nudge to the first bottle for its beauty and delicacy. — 11 years ago

As this opens more, increasing tannins. Still soft though. The finish is longer too - clocking it at a minute
