Curiosity won over willpower as I weighed whether to hold off on drinking my 2nd of two bottles. SImilar to the first this opened up after about an hour and was so good with a wonderful mix of soft red fruit flavors as well as tobacco, tea, and an earthy note. Paired awesome with mushroom risotto. Not inexpensive but so good
At first taste I wasn’t so sure about this one. Then after ~1 hr wow it was singing and so complex. Tobacco, earthy (not overpowering). Probably not for everyone but definitely hit the mark for me

Now here is a fruit backward PN from Dragonette that you should absolutely NOT drink now. This has the structure to go the distance.
Coffee with a hint of brininess, sour meat, mushrooms, soy sauce, duck sauce and a big umami MSG note. Pretty fruit backward, although there are some raspberries. Medium + bodied with medium tannins; and as I said a great structure. 5+ years will smooth it out.
