Macerated cherry, cherry compote. Leather, tobacco. Strong tannic presence and a wildly long finish - total winner. Strong and elegant.

Dark garnet in color. Earthy nose with cigar box and black cherry. Deep palate with licorice, leather, herbs, olive and dark fruit. Minerals, tannins lend structure. A harmonious package with years to run. Superior.

Another great one. We opened it up and decanted it for about 7 hours and still needed time. Obviously this is just a pup and we need to let it sit for many more years. Still enjoyable now of course.

Fragrant sangio opulence, bruised fig and graphite but very very young. A sound, sexy baby bear that needs some hibernation time in the cave. Check back spring of 2020.
