Sort of like getting unexpectedly shot with a water pistol on a brutally hot day - an initial tarty fruitiness really takes you aback at first, and in that initial moment of shock you're a little dazed and unsure what to think. Should you be a little annoyed at the slightly jarring surprise? Is it those crazy Australians playing practical jokes again? But no worries, mate - before your thoughts get the chance to start down that path, your brain comes back online and the more mellow and slightly denser fruit flavors begins sinking in to your palate, chased by a hint of earthy spice. And you realize hey, that was actually super refreshing and a heartily welcomed experience. And you ask to be shot again and again.

Sep 3rd, 2016Strong cherry smell and taste. I agree with others that there's definitely a little cough syrup to it. Pretty smooth throughout and decent finish.

May 24th, 2016Let it breathe a bit, improves Significantly after decanting and waiting two hours. Earthy & lots of blackberry. Solid choice for bottle under $10.
