Continues to not disappoint. Full bodied, dark fruits, with elegant balance.

Goodness, what a pleasant surprise. Arrived today from Last Bottle. Deep concentrated dark fruit but not over-extracted. Balanced and elegant. Great QPR.

Finally getting a hint of some secondary characteristics. Had such a menthol/eucalyptus note in 2019 that I could not drink it. Can still smell a touch of menthol, but cannot taste it. Nice, balanced, dark red fruits and a first hint of cedar. Will likely wait until 2025 to try again.
