Marshy nose – think forest floor and dark berries with a hint of smoke. The palate was surprisingly fresh and fruit-forward, but not shy from showing its layered complexities – tasted of cherries, blackberries, a stemmy earthiness, and cigar smoke. Still fairly structured at this age. The only caveat was that it closed shut after only about 40 minutes. Plus our dinner wasn’t long enough to see if it would’ve opened back up.

Crazy that it shut down after 40 minutes with 20 years of bottle age.
