(opened from personal storage). The once explosive black fruit nose has now begun to evolve and while still showing obvious class and breed, also displays the front edge of maturing fruit, spice and earth notes along with a hint of herbal character. The still firm but softening flavors possess impressive concentration with excellent depth of extract and lovely persistence. This has all the material it needs for a very long life and it should go for 30 years with no difficulty at all if properly stored. For my personal taste, this has arrived at its peak though I stresss that there is absolutely no rush to drink up because as I note, this should hold for a long time to come. Tasted four times in the last few years with consistent results.
