Rating: 13/23 This has has a ton of time to age in the bottle with a whole lot of air. Bottle kill tasting. N: Rich and full with smoke carrying that mesquite barbecue bitterness, roast meat, apple, minerals, and vanilla. The scents are a bit brash and at odds with each other and the youthfulness does come out. It reminds me a bit of Corsair Wildfire, but less balanced and mature. P: Smoky yet sweet with barbecue leading into ash tray with a bit of grassy herbaceousness and tartness underneath that bleed into apple and then vanilla. There's minerality that makes the palate kind of light and there's somehow still also a bit of a youthful bite (though I don't taste the alcohol). It's oddly brash for something that has had so much air. The maltiness shows, but it's just another weird flavor sticking out. F: Malty sweetness with apple leading into bitter-tart smoke and grass. It's all still kind of a jumble. - Conclusion - So this is definitely not a 15, unfortunately. I'm thinking somewhere in the region of a 13. OK, wait a second. I just threw out the bottle and glanced at the top of the cork. It says "B: D19-3" and on the line below it it says "D: 01/19". Now, I first tried this bottle in July 2019, so I'm thinking this looks a lot like it's saying this was only aged for 2 months?! I'm quite impressed if that's the case. Though, if it is, I'm very frustrated that they didn't give it some more time. Just 2 months?! What if it had had a year!
