    January 8, 2020 - Oooweebaby, this is one Marvel-like action hero with overwhelming alcohol, berries and cocoa assaulting the olfactory system in a manner similar to the kind words of Ricky Gervais about an "...award for most-ripped junkie". Seriously, no “...masks and capes, and really tight costumes...” could address the initial wham, kapow! Fortunately, we expected such an attack and we planned accordingly by opening the bottle 3+ hours before attempting a sniff 'n sip. Ah, now we arrived in a nice aroma galaxy of subdued alcohol, black and red berries blended with hints of cocoa and mint. Super duper on the nose...equally excellent on the palate with a silky sophistication of Peggy Carter from start to finish...and an powerfully long finish reminiscent of Elektra...killed us. However, we should note this luscious, super hero bombshell has more to show us in the coming decade or so. We are looking forward to popping open a bottle every year to enjoy the marvellous development we expect, nay, demand!!!
