  Consumed at a restaurant. The bottle was open about 45 minutes before dinner. It was terrific.

  This has calmed down a lot and is actually drinkable now. Concentrated simple red fruits with adequate acidity. There’s plenty of EtOH of course but it doesn’t totally destroy the palate. The group liked it.

  Lots of that great Martinelli red-fruit intensity.

  It’s not a fruit bomb, it’s an alcohol bomb. The huge amount of black cherry fruit is overwhelmed by ethyl alcohol, making it hot and obviously off balance. Maybe Elon can make a vehicle which can run off this stuff. But if you want to drink it be sure to dial it back with some dihydrogen monoxide.
