Product Description
BH94 "Still quite deeply colored though there is a slightly lightening at the rim. Spicy and maturing aromas include those of exotic tea, violet, dark cherry and a touch of wood influence. There is very good mid-palate density to the larger-bodied flavors that flash excellent power and a subtle minerality on the lingering, complex and reasonably well-balanced finale where a touch of austerity eventually arises. I say reasonably well-balanced because there is a hint of warmth in evidence though it's not enough to mar the overall sense of harmony. For my taste, this is probably close to full maturity even though there is still some tannin showing, it's not clear that it will ever fully resolve. (Drink starting 2024)" Allen Meadows for Burghound June 24
