This beauty is just hitting its stride now, with a still-robust structure that is starting to show more velvety nuance while melding with the core of dark currant preserve, warmed fig and steeped plum flavors. Lots of cocoa and tobacco notes form the backdrop, and there's a long, smoldering feel to the finish. Another classic from a classic vintage. Best from 2017 through 2035.
