Fresh white and clean berries, white flowers with dried out stems and a really dried out cedar note.
Fresh pears that’s not exactly crisp nor creamy flesh, right in the middle. Gentle ripeness with that same dried stem and oak on the palate. Gentle stones and sun basked tree bark.
A squeeze of neon berries, blows off quickly though leaving darker berries with a gently oaked earthiness. Like plates of tree bark that has fallen on the forest floor and slowly drying out.
Dry and almost astringent dark red fruits and finishes a bit black. Bitter stones and graphite with a bit of juiciness on the finish. Astringency also stays on the finish, drying but still has a juiciness.
Dark red flowers and black fruits. Tons of neutral earth which almost keeps this somewhat quiet, like you're standing in glade.
Intense dark fruits on the palate while keeping a swift yet weightier body. Deep fruited earth, with gently spiced oak, dark green stems and bitter graphite on the finish. A small flare of heat on the finish.
Lots of dark red and black fruits with a spicrd oak (mane even heat), and a bit of crushed creaminess. Had a shiny wet stones that make the fruits lifted and a touch tart, not necessarily in a bad way.
Good juicy red fruits with a nice depth and oomf on the midpalate, spiced oak and pulverized graphite - something like the mark a blast leaves against a stone wall. Has a great balance between “wanting to give” and “keeping it classy.” Huh.. guess poetry is very fitting here.

Seemed to be missing just a notch of oomf here.
