November 1, 2019 - Opens with scents of an old basement and some sidewalk-stomped bubblegum. But it tastes, thankfully, better than it smells, and it cleans itself up with about 15 minutes in the glass to find its sea legs. It's extremely light-bodied in material and in literal color - down to watercolor-strength in both departments - but there's nevertheless some spirit left in it almost in the fashion of an eau de vie that blossoms very fully on the palate notwithstanding the only-barely-corporeal material that's left, and the texture is satisfyingly slick and smooth. The fruit is basically a distant memory - even the patina of old fruit is on the faded side - but there's some nuttiness and forest soil filling in some of the empty spaces.
