Looks like the 4th of July fireworks came a week late! Wet leather, tobacco, macerated cherries, fresh terricherry peppercorns sububtly roll up on your nose. Ripe black plums, Blackberries, cedar, baking spices, and dark cocoa flood through your mouth. Terrific finish full of life and lasts for a good 2 minutes. Dark ruby color, mouthwatering acidity, smooth tannins, so well balanced. such a treat. Have had a few bottles of early 1990’s cask 23, but all have been fairly disappointing until this bottle. Cheers
