This has evolved in a very natty direction that might be a little off putting for some. The funk did dissipate a little with some air. I don’t think it’s flawed just idiosyncratic let’s say. I enjoyed it

Tobacco, potato peel, green herbs, and various red fruit aromas and flavors. Pretty some early on. It started to lose a step after an hour plus and the tannins got rougher.

This was drinking beautifully. Not mind blowingly epic, but so gentle and complex and pleasing and gulpable.

Second from the lineup. Similar aromatics to the. 89. A bit darker fruit & showing more power. Has a delicate edge, but has a strong core of fruit to live longer.

Enjoyed this with Jonathan W. yesterday. Refined, and by the end, utterly silky.
