this bottle has been sitting around the store since i started there six years ago. never knew what to do with it, as it went from "too expensive" to "maybe cooked" and was never interesting enough to open. finally got tired of looking at it and made the boss open it. not damaged much, but not interesting at all. glad to be rid of it.

Astringent initially. Opens up but fruit isn’t as forward as I would expect
