Better than previous bottle and certainly interesting and thought provoking, but just not one of my favorites from SP.

Overwhelming VA, which keeps this from being skin-contact-cool or sherry-like in a good way. Some reviews (which gave this high scores) said that this needs air, but several hours later that does not seem to be the case. I'll cross my fingers and try again tomorrow. I'm a fan of Abe's experiments, but this one isn't my favorite.
