Nose: blackberry, bay leaf, and booze. A little “jammy.” Something cooked…a little savory. Honestly reminds me of chicken soup (perhaps that’s the bay). Possibly oregano? But sweet rather than hot. A little leather and wood polish. Strawberry and other berries too. More going on here than I expected. Taste: good! Definitely has the herbal bay flavor, but still smooth, and nice plum and blackberry without being sweet. I really like this. 90! Was waffling between 89 and 90, but the higher score is warranted. Great quality for the price (paid $12). Very pleased.
