Pours almost black with violet along the edge. Dark jammy fruits (raspberry, stone fruits and some strawberry) on the nose with caramel and vanilla. Thick mouth feel. More red fruit on the taste, but still jammy and rich.

I really enjoyed this bottle. Leather, cherry stone fruit on the nose. Cherry and raspberry on the palate. There was also some sweetness, but overly so. Just enough to make it jammy.

Upon opening, a ton of cherry notes. Aftee decanting overnight, it picked up a lot more acid (sour) notes. Almost a dry jammy flavor. Still has a cherry nose, but less distinct taste.
