Day 2… much more aromatic. Fruit forward with blackcherry and currants. Pipe tobacco, vanilla bean and clove show evidence of barrique. Opulent pith feel with gritty tannins. Dark forest fruits and cedar linger on the palate which is persistent to finish. Drink with a several hour decant, but best to lay down a few more years I suspect.
