  Enjoyed more than I did my first bottle about two years ago. Smooth, with top notes of cinnamon and baking spice. Even dark red fruit throughout a medium finish.

  Coconut oil and stewed strawberry aromas. Thin blackberry juice with warm cinnamon, and a slight raw nut bitterness on the end. Tastes a little tou and lacking integration.

  I liked a lot: Decanted for about an hour; this is an extremely well balanced PN, with good transitions; MRBeckel write up 4/1/2021 describes this well. Middleweight simply means not in your face but good complex transitions, will buy again

  Nice, middleweight PN, an mixed bag of flavors. Color of dark ruby red. Nose of cherries, raspberries, cedar. Big licorice and fig jam on front, consistent, but not heavy tannins throughout. Gains some vanilla in middle with red fruit. Mixed berries, just ripe rhubarb, and hint of bitter dark chocolate on finish. Black pepper on trailing back. Nice to enjoy now, but definitely has time.
