Well past its drinking window but pleasant enough. Still quite vibrant nose, but lacks depth to taste. Far from undrinkable, some savoury mince on toast will take it up a notch I reckon 😉

Big nose of brown leather, tobacco, milk chocolate, and blackberry. Palate shows thin tannin overwhelmed by whopping alcohol. Flavours of cassis and vodka, with a touch of leather. Enjoyable, but wildly unbalanced.

Very dark ruby to purple colour. The nose was quite complex, mainly spices, pepper, menthol, cedar wood and little vanilla. But the body was a bit weak and lack of concentration. The fruitiness was not memorable, just some dark cherry and blackberry and strong menthol aroma in between. Too much irritating alcohol. Overall was lack of integration. Uncomfortable drinking experience.
