Beautiful. Bad vintage? I can't seem to find that. Aromas of bacon fat, smoked ham, sweet wood, smoke, candied olive, cigar ash, coffee bean, licorice root, flowers, thyme. So savory. Palate is blackberry confit, peppercorn, leather, granite, tobacco. Lengthy finish. Firm backbone with super elegant posture. Sexy tannins, supple and refined, lovely acid profile.

Really interesting, and continues to push my questioning of what people want when they talk about vintage quality. Other than 10, this was my favorite vintage.

Loved this. Decanted and even better the second day. This will age well. Finesse, coming together nicely.

Layered nose of cherry, pipe tobacco, black pepper, and floral oil. Midweight and sexy in the mouth. Lingering finish.
