2019 bottle shared with Jorge and RJ at RJ's, pulling out the big guns for friends and all that. Big on espresso, cacao, roasted malts and dried fruits, fairly low on BA character although some tannins do show. Good bodied with soft carbo, the age shows but not turning for the worse yet.

Аромат достаточно яркий хоть и не сильно разнообразный, наверно прежде всего кофе ощущается, но не горький, скорее слегка в бобы уходят, сухость есть, шоколад в меру сладкий, жженость достаточно яркая, есть изюм также. Цвет черный, угольный, пенка кофейная, тонкая. Вкус не сложный но при этом сбалансированный. Есть шоколад сразу, средний по количеству какао, лишь нотка сладости, затем уже кофе, сразу сухость, есть немного чернослива как будто. Отличный баланс. Немного скудно по общему количеству разнообрасзности вкусов, но все они хорошо выточены.

25cl bottle recieved as a gift. Pours pitch black with a rather modest, beige head. Probably poured a bit to cold, but I'll sip it for a long time so it will be even more flavourful in the end. Rich, complex, roasty aroma with wooden notes, dark fruits, cocoa, vanilla and hints of coffee. Smooth and flavourful, but still surprisingly fresh for being matured on oak and then several years in bottle. Sure this will still develop nicely for years to come. Very nice, desserty and a pure pleasure to enjoy. Wouldn't mind having more of these stocked up for the future....
