A little flabby on the pop but really gained steam over a couple hours in the decanter. Menthol, eucalyptus, lush plum. Plenty of life left.

Fabulous! Very intense and powerful. Full body, highly concentrated.
Secondary flavors stand out, herbs, notes of pine.

We shared this with Jordyn on her birthday. The only person we know born in '93, plus she's a wine lover! This bottle held up amazingly well. Smelled like raw meat when first opened. Mellowed out within 1/2 hour and was black cherries and smooooth.
