Opened with ravioli. A somewhat clouded brick color, wafting high glyceric VA, dark bramble, madierized strawberry paste, candied alcohol, sweet sherry, slight musk. Interesting for sure, mature. On day two plus, this became oxidized, and while the fruit was still sweet and highly glyceric, the plummy and stewy flavors became more pronounced. Definitely at peak, and will decline from here.

PnP, cranberry color on a light bodied frame. Musky, rusty and dark oaken shavings on the nose, with cola influences. Fruit restrained but kicks in on the finish, this showing an abundance of toast, spiced dark notes of molasses, ripe strawberry, and cola. Wow, on day two the fruit has amplified, riding the thin veneer of body and bristling spice and oak. Better on day two. Showing slight signs of secondary turbinado caramelization.

Really nice balance. Interesting nose and palate of red fruit/berries with eartha and stems. Just nice to drink.
