Off the start this has smoky BBQ and bark along with a saline, sea shell mineral, cedar, smoky earth. In the mouth there is still some acidity that props up the smoky, dried berry fruit and dusty tannin

Stunning! Minty herbal nose. Lots of structure still in place. Held up well over a couple of hours. Probably still has another 5 to 10 years left of its life!

Musty nose. Tannins are gone. Tart on the finish. Definitely is its prime, but still drinkable.

Lovely soft herbs, gentle leather, cigars, and pretty damson and red fruit. Poised and elegant. Not hugely long but well aged and noble. From mag.

46 years was too long to wait - but it was fun to have it next to its 2005 sibling
