This is special. Roasted green pepper to roasted poblano with some tobacco and wet earth.

This was surprisingly youthful when 1st opened & needed some air to reveal its black currant, berry fruit, leather, cedar & spice with a polished feel.

1982 vintage. From magnum. Decanted for approx 3 hours before tasting. Better color than expected. Good amount of sed on the decant. Decent amount of color along with a light body. Nose not overwhelmingly fantastic but respectable. Plenty of cocoa flavor along with tobacco spices on the finish. Pretty solid concentration remaining. This was in the maximized pleasure zone but feeling it being closer to the end than the start of the zone. Out of maggie, maybe another 4-5 really nice years. From a 750ml example? Thinking drinking now. 3.2.23.
