"The pronounced oak char that this displayed when it was younger has almost completely disappeared to be replaced by aromas of earth, spice and damp leaves along with an initial hint of sous-bois. There is a touch of minerality and good detail to the slightly lean middle weight flavors that offer good length though the finish is beginning to lean out. I would be inclined to drink this sooner than later as I suspect that it will dry out in time. Drink Now."  Allen Meadows, Burghound
