Burghound
A very ripe (though not surmature) nose features notes of cassis and various black berry scents that are set off by more subtle though hardly invisible amounts of wood and menthol. Here too there is fine richness and density to the muscular flavors that manage to retain a good sense of underlying tension while delivering a moderately austere and, like the Rue de Chaux, a borderline strict finish. Patience definitely required as this is presently very tightly wound. (Drink starting 2028).
