For lovers of the appassimento style. Andrzej Lipinski's deft hand is definitely at work here. Chocolate pudding, vanilla, baking spice, cedar and an earthiness balance dried fruit. It's coming together but still needs at least a year to fully integrate. Tannins are starting to smooth out. Big, rich and powerful (almost 16% ABV). Should drink nicely to 2019. August 2014.
