2011 vintage drank in 2025. Phenomenal condition. Rich dark malts, dark fruits, roast, semi-sweet cocoa, limited boozy notes. Full bodied with fine carb. Minimal oxidation. Quite impressive.

Bottle ’08 from a friend in foggy London town. Dark brown pour with a minuscule tan head. Expresso, wood and fudge aromas. The taste is silky smooth (think Shaft and I’m talking about Richard Roundtree not Samuel jackson) and sweet with amaretto, chocolate, molasses, toffee, and caramel malt flavors. Outstanding.....
