  This is getting better! Still cloudy and somewhat bitter, but it’s balanced out with some strong smokiness and tart red fruits. I’m into it

  Consistent with previous bottles. In other words, undrinkable.

  As the crowd has noted below, this is weird. I'm still on the fence if it's flawed or just weird, but it's one of the two. It's cloudy and funky. Real tart cherry and earth aromas. As others have mentioned, there's an interesting bitterness on the palate, which I've not had in a lot of wines.
  
  In truth, I kind of like it. You have to be expecting it, or you'd be disappointed, but it's has a lot of umami. I have a number of these, so I guess I'll follow along and see how they do.

  A murky pale reddy brown. A fetid nose with hints of strawberry. On the palate, this resembles Benadryl mixed with a jigger of Fernet Branca. Sadly, the palate has lots of length so it's difficult to get rid of the taste. Thoroughly horrible.
