September 17, 2015 - Aroma is sharply sour right out of the bottle, with little fruit. It loses the sour note pretty quickly, and picks up some heat as it opens. The flavor is interesting, with a sharp crisp note, some light fruit that takes a backseat, and a good finish. While the flavor has a sharp, slightly spicy note, this is not sharp on the tongue. Tasted at about 73°F.

July 7, 2013 - This is a bit muted, not too interesting, has a neutral wood / cork (not "corked") taste. Merely OK and not a good value.
