Every bit worthy of a 9.5. Struggling to stay away from the 9.6. Never considered Cold Springs to be that vanilla rich BlackBerry infused Howell Mtn 'norm' that I see a bunch. This is a black cherry infused monster with a very potent and powerful front. Some acidity but mostly fruit on the front. More of an herbal infused middle with a touch of beef jerkey, black cherry, mint, cola. Finish still tannic but peppery. Probably the 'B' barrels of Aloft, and would love to do a side by side comparison.

Heavy mocha notes, smoke otherwise pretty standard Krug Cab. This vintage did most of the work
