Beautiful ruby hues, bright red fruit, candied cherries, leather, floral notes. Feminine, delicate, and almost ethereal.

On opening, the alcohol stank was overpowering. Not pleasant. (Exposed to heat?) 24 hours later, it's really singing. Great concentration of fresh fruit, little leather, good if understated acid. Delish.
