  5/9/2020 - I LIKE THIS WINE: (Edit)

  "Limited Edition" is not stated on the bottle and you can hardly call it a limited edition, since this batch was HUGHE, and Diageo even came with a second edition in 2019, while the first edition was not sold out.
  Hmmm, talking about commerce, since the hype they unjustified created in 2018 (the USA release) and early 2019 (the Europe and the rest of the world release).
  And the price was and still is too high for what it has to offer.
  But since approx. a half year there are offerings for much lower prices.
  I feel mislead by Diageo (and not only me, also the trade).
