Decanted for sediment and aerated for 30 minutes before returning to bottle. This was fairly linear given the underperforming freshness; a touch of VA for the first hour before it was all gone. Still manages some structure even if fruit is beginning to fade. Good>vg; thru 2025. 14,0% abv. recommended
At Vivvat Bacchus with FC and AW. Deep ruby/garnet. Nose shows ripe red cherries, spice, hint of liquorice. Medium/full bodied, soft, caressing mouthfeel, red cherry fruit, spicy fresh acidity, very good length harmonious finish. Delicious, continues to drink well.

Beautiful Some brown sugar and soy to enliven the black cherry fruit. Rich and somewhat round. Long. Last bottle.
