This was better on the 2nd day. Big nose of sweet black fruit, vanilla, tobacco. On first day, let breathe 30 min - candied fruit overwhelmed on the palate. Tasty but little depth. On 2nd day gained complexity with vanilla, oak, and even a little green vegetable coming in, with black fruit coming back at the finish. Good enough to merit another try, with extended decant. 87-89

Not in good shape. Very strong cough syrup notes.

Hideous... terribly flawed in a way I've never seen. :(

Distinct note of black licorice in the nose. Tasty, but a bit harsh and a little odd, funky undertone on the finish. Decent, but nothing special.

Overripe, and too extracted.
