February 4, 2024 - This is there. Drink it. The low abv keeps things very light on its feet. It’s in a good spot where primary is starting to give way to 2ndary notes. Florals and pretty fruit. Really like this. Keep cellar temp.
January 4, 2024 - Medium garnet color with red fruit, spice new leather anromas with hints of black tea and lavender.
