Seems like some bottle to bottle variation from my first bottle just a few weeks back. The last one was complex and amazing, this one drank like deep purple.
This drank very hot with its strong alcoholic streak on the palate, pretty much overpowering the fruit/florals on the profile. This was also slightly less fragrant and generous on the nose. Surprisingly, it did not improve after a few days in the fridge, either.

Wow. This wine really pops with notes of toasted cinnamon, nutmeg, violets, and black and blue fruits. Clearly new world, but still has enough restraint. I don't drink much L'Aventure, but this was really delicious. Thanks, JJ!

5 hour decant. Smoke, pepper and plum aromas. Wonderful red and dark fruit taste - strawberry, plum. Tannins, which were much more pronounced upon opening, are well-integrated. Very enjoyable and I look forward to opening the others after waiting a bit.

Quick double decant, evolved in the glass. Didn't love this wine at the winery, now almost equal to For Her at this point
