Kirsch, black cherry, herbs, mint, chocolate, medium acid toast and a bit of funk. Pretty damn good if not a little ripe.

Dark berries and eucalyptus, give a little time to open up and get interesting.

Maybe 90% overripe fruit. Would have absolutely pegged it as new world. Small hints of dark chocolate and earthy spices. No finish. Too much alcohol. Meh.
