Tasted: Jul 26, 2015

Tasting note: (with thanks to Pat Dukes). This really has not changed all that much from my original review save that the maturing nose of toasty, expressive and highly complex aromas feature notes of pain grillé, green fruit and dried rose petals is not quite as fresh as it once was even in the larger format. There is fine richness to the rich, full-bodied, well-muscled and impressively intense flavors that possess plenty of dry extract that really coats the mouth on the long and serious finish. Though hardly surprising in magnum format, this is not quite fully mature yet it's not so far away that it could not be enjoyed. I would suggest cellaring this for another 2 to 4 years and then it should be at or near its best. Tasted thrice with consistent notes.
