Two of the three bottles I’ve had of this have been excellent.

Bay leaves, dusty, currant, super long finish.

This is really refined. Having a tough time disassembling this because everything is so fantastically tied together - red currant, bay, solid (but not overpowering) tannins. Super long finish. Thank you "Sideways", more for us.
