Bottle, shared with JoeMcPhee - pours a nearly still dark amber - vinegar hits the nose first, but despite the strong sourness and acidity, there are a lot of complexities lurking underneath - some sweaty notes, cherry, subtle oak, light cheese, some spice - intense sourness in the flavor, with a lot of vinegar character (both red wine and apple cider) - it takes a while to detect anything other than this - however, once it settles in, some sweet cherry flavors, very mild oak - there is some more happening back there, but the acidity and sourness make them hard to detect - some light funk on the back end - intense - perhaps too much so, but I like it.
