Bottle funk for days and a lot of oxidative, tertiary notes; petrol, orange marmalade, marzipan, bruised red apple, forest floor. With air it becomes more honeyed, and a little tropical, particularly cantaloupe, but a touch of honeydew with white and yellow florals expressing themselves. Acidity is still ripping and the RS helps to add body. Likely on the wrong side of the bell curve, but still hanging on, and hell you only live once, and it was well worth a try.

Straight from the importer, the two bottles we’ve sampled so far have been stellar and young. In fact both were even better day 2 (at which point we finished of the bottles unable to restrain ourselves). Highly recommend.

Really not as bad as people are making it out to be. Still has pear and florals, although the primary fruit is fading a bit. But has nice petrol, aged gouda type smokiness. RS means richness, not cloying though

"You only YOLO once" (Chicago, IL): Pine resin on the nose and palate. Awful.
