Lightly chilled bottle post hurricane on the porch. Clear Solo cup. Pretty, clear, slender, corked bottle. Settled & clear, ruby amber. Yeasty bits at the bottom waiting for that second pour. Perfume-y, band-aid, caramel, slight funk. Hyper astringent bittersweet apples, cherry-flavored crabs, oily oak on the roof of my mouth. Mellow vinegar sweetness melds with the caramel for an old world candy flavor. The total booziness makes the cherry a little medicinal. It's a bit rough & needs a minute to air out, but the concentrated flavor sure is interesting.
