Diminishing fruit aromas being replaced by secondary aromas of graphite, old leather, soy, and pencil shavings. Still fruity on the palate with long finish. Comfortable, like an old friend.

Deep fruit, smooth vanilla, minty, and long, satisfying finish. Right there with SLV and Cask 23 in my opinion.

Nose of vanilla and blackberry. Drying on the pallet. Still has time in the bottle, even though I read it was past due. Really tasty, especially with the pork chop my friend cooked up. Yum!

Beautiful! Still has a significant amount of fruit combined with soft tannins. I want 5 more bottles.
