Fuji
 

N: Maraschino cherries, fresh cut fruits

P: Floral, bright candy fruits (apple and watermelon jolly ranchers)

F: Candied that faded too quickly

 

I noticed this got better as I went back to it from time to time after it had been sitting out.  B/B+

N: Cooked vegetables, rhubarb. Green leafy plants.
P: Interesting, a pretty light sherry influence but quite spicey. Apricots!
F: Slighly chalky in mouth feel, but in a good way. Very nice.
