Bombastic. Kirsch liquor, straight up. Could use more acid but fun.

Enjoying Hannah's 19th birthday and this fruit bomb! Mellowed out since the last time we tried one, no decant just 45 minutes of air. Doesn't need food but accompanies our fondue nicely tonight.

When I first opened this up it was raspberries, mushrooms, and barnyard. Decanting this for 45 minutes turned this into black cherries, white pepper and not the sweetness of the vanilla bean but the bite of the bean. Happy Valentine's Day.
