This is thick, big and a bit briary. Still surprisingly closed at seven years old, it must have been a monster upon release. I'd wait another few years before trying this. Oaky and sweet, a bit simple in profile at this point in its development, but I think it just needs time to unfurl.
Not as good on the 2nd day, feels even more simple, or just impenetrable. Seems too expensive for what it is.
