Was really interesting day one. Started w lots of herbal and spice elements. Then more fruit after some air. Day two was much less interesting. Got flabby and syrupy. Should try again.

Nice fruity notes. Cherry, dried fruit, and note of apricot spicyness. Hints of bitter vanilla. Very dry. Could have a more rounded finish. Will buy a couple bottles and let them age to round out that finish. —— after letting sit in a decanter for a couple hours, that dry finish is rounded out. It has a smoother mouth feel, and the dry feeling is replaced with a vanilla smokiness. If you have a sensitivity to sulphite, you will feel this one in your ears.
