December 2, 2020 - Blind, stinky notes of butane, cat pee and tomato vines threw me off. With half an hour of aeration, notes of cotton candy, guava and yeast emerged. I must say, I hated it at first but it grew on me as the night progressed. No point in aging further, drink now.

January 15, 2019 - I like it a lot, but not quite an Oyster Bay or Starborough. Best value EVER in a NZ though with 50% off deal at Costco!
