  May 28, 2021 - Jump into this like a barrel sample...youthful crunch, tart pucker, little heat...air brings it all into some harmony...bright and perky wild red berry fruits...raspberry, cherry, red plum...little more heat and edge than the 18 had 5 mos ago...yet still classic RM exotic seduction and intoxicating sandalwood spices. Vein of sour blood orange citrus makes it SO refreshing...creams up nicely with a little oak barrel vanilla cola...pretty dried roses and potpourri florals...that heat bite detracts a little...can't call it seamlessness like the 18...but I think it will silk out with some age. Sure bet this will be amazing in 5-10...but SO damn hard not to drink them in their youth! Try to hold off on at least one bottle till then... as that's when the REAL magic happens! ++pts
