October 14, 2023 - Day 1: Amazing. Lighter in style but love it. Floral, spice, menthol, red currants and earth. Medium plus finish and nice acidity. Excellent purchase for under $40. 94 points
Day 2: Still solid but not as good on the pop and pour. Wildflowers, menthol, red and blue currants, spice and tar. Medium finish and nice acidity. Not much of a drop. 93 points
Recommendation: Got these under $40 and really pleased with the purchase.1 person found this helpful Comment -

August 17, 2023 - Dark ruby in color. Bouquet of dark fruit and musty earth (akin to Central Coast Funk). Palate of tobacco, spice, blackberry and a touch of earth. Pleasant.

May 31, 2022 - It took a few hours to really start to be expressive. Very much older world with dark fruits underbrush and dried herbs. Very nice and probably has more to offer with some time
