Party with KY
Drink too much, could not remember all exactly.
Smell: Good
Taste: fairly good, not as powerful/fruity as imagine, may be not decant enough.

(18/20) Насыщенный, сложный аромат спелых чёрных ягод и кожи с нотами ментола, кедра, шоколада, черного перца и кофе. Высокая кислотность, интенсивные танины с приятной структурой. Тельное с прекрасной концентрацией чёрных ягод и шоколада во вкусе. Продолжительное послевкусие. Великолепно!
