cinco hace sixto (rodriguez): 7.5% abv. AP 06. I sense a great degree of coherence, accomplished work, and mediation in this latest series of MFR, culminating in a Spätlese. Substantially, this drink amounts to buoyant floral perfume, fallen, adhesive, waist-deep, and attached to bulks of roasted/superficially mature, lightly salted berries—green/amber/blush* colored, berries. A core clad in pistachio dough suggests material for benign cellar processes. Very pastel-translucent. Acidity stitches the roots/soil stratum to piled starch/pear/muscat. Wait 2-5 years to open another. ________ 24 hours later, Herr Brewer reads pear. Me too. I loudly test this against the piña/fraise hypothesis, and discover all of it is confirmed, both sides of the argument. If I can't cellar this, I can hope someone does.

Nose of ripe tropical fruit and white flowers. Tastes of sweet ripe peach and apricot fruit with some tropical fruit like mango as well. Modest minerality. Creamy texture. Less acidity than I expected.
