Pop'n'pour (sample glass)
Strong tobacco on the nose, palate was pretty monotone red currants. Strong and needs time.
+24hr
Much better integrated now. Fruity, if not a bit musky, almost like inhaling the texture of chocolate (ever been for a drive around Bournville?), on the nose. In the mouth it drinks very well, with a nice bit of heat towards the end. Initial sour cherries followed by cigars and lingering sweet red fruits. My co-drinkers were very pleased with this, and so was I. Probably still a bit fruity for you lot here, but in a good drinking window for me.
Very good and would happily drink again.
