32 years old and smells like an old library book, amongst a bunch of other things, but the palate is fresh. Damp with strawberry, brick, and leather, with even some mint leaf showing through. Happy I have more of this.

Birthday treat from @Jim Knight Still savoring it's deep dried fruit with glorious tertiary notes. Silky, powerful, melted in mouth. Made our meal, thank you JK!
