Feels like yesterday, but this vintage is actually turning 20 within shortly... Must mean that I've gotten old too, right? Showing the first signs of maturity, yet still dominated by rich, pungent fruit, RS and lofty alcohol, but it's structure promise to deliver a new ball park in 10+ years. Lovely!

1977 in half bottle-still a baby and more caramel and spice than fruity. Good but needs another 10.

Lots to like here; gently candied dark fruit flavors pairs nicely with its still youthful tannins, slatey minerality and cherry-dominated acidity. Great already but way better in another 15+ years.
