A nice change of scenery. A lot of black fruits in here. Both black from living and black from dried age or should I just say decay? , if that makes any sense to anyone but me I'll be surprised. Secondary smells are kitchen herbs - thyme, Thai basil, and maybe some marjoram. . Again walking that line between fresh and dried.

The more I went into the bottle the higher my rating creot. That's the opposite of most for me. — a month ago
