A high toned weird mintiness at the front. White pepper. A bit odd. A slightly hot and short finish.

Just had 5th eye surgery, so popped Backus. Just wonderful. Very well balance from tip to last swallow. Beautiful fruits, layers of flavor. I sure wish it cost less!!

Wow. Silky and buttery tannins. Delicate finish. Warm and balanced spices. Earth. Charcoal. Berries. I’ve had this four times and it still surprises me. I regret not having nice red meat with this. Can’t wait until next time.
