Hard to get my head around the fruit but I thought it was more shades of orange and peach than berries but Ann said strawberry. Very good and a repurchase for sure.

By any chance did you pick up the Nuances bottling to try? I like that even better, although both a very good. -

I also ordered the Montenidoli to try, based strictly on the "Vaughn purchasing recommendation", a very reliable source! -

The Pibarnon seemed to have more texture that I think lengthened the finish and gave it more substance. It struck me as being similar to the Montenidoli from memory. I am out of that one but have a case coming. Looking forward to seeing how they compare and what your thoughts are on it.
