Since I only have two bottles of this it was kinda hard to pull the trigger. But since it was freshly made tamales at my parent’s and it’s my dad that made the decision much easier!
Popped and poured but about a hour into it is was amazing so I would decant for about a hour any more of that is just torture!
The color of this in the glass was a dense purple color almost purple velvet haze so pretty and cool to look at. It is slightly richer and more intense than I remember when I first had this in the early spring with Mike, also much more minerality than I remember . The Mouth-coating of flavors was something I did remember and they are there in spades now. My wife looked at me half way through the bottle and said your tongue and teeth are purple. I smiled with glee!
Will stash the last bottle for about a year at most, so glad I have a few of the Elysian. Will probably give that about 6 more months then I will bow to the preasure.
Thanks Mike this is Killer stuff cant wait to buy the 2013
