I really wanted to like it. But it seemed “flat”. Maybe past its prime. Didn’t have much structure.

Man, this is a powerhouse. Can’t believe it had 14 year so far age because it still packs a punch, and is very dense and tannic. Leather, cigar box, cherry compote. Very interesting that they don’t harvest til mid-November, probably explains the concentration!
