this is very nice right now. air helps with a somewhat medicine like finish to the tannins. not sure how to describe it.

This was very funky on day 1. almost undrinkable after a 4-5 hour decent. day two much improved and actually enjoyable. not actually to my liking but maybe there is something to all the great rap.
