Community Tasting Note

• djhammond wrote: 97 points

  January 23, 2022 - As per previous notes, this is rocking. This rips into the very depth of the palate, and hijacks the whole sensory experience. It needs fresh fruit to offset its intensity but together it almost produces an hallucagenic happening to the highest order.

It has always been just about excellent to me (around 93 pts at the high end), but never hallucinogenic, unfortunately. I'm going to let my remaining ones age a while, and will hope for a psychedelic experience :)
