I picked this bottle up locally in a shop that I hardly ever go into for $110 yesterday.
Decanted foe 1.5 hours.
Right from the first sip I new I screwed up…it needed at least another hour plus in the decanter. So after a 2.5 hour decant it started to open up and it only got better throughout the night.
A big fantastic nose of black fruit, palate was full and layered with tobacco, ceder, cassias and a little liquorish. Outside of the 82 PLL the 96 is my second favorite. 94-96 points.
