Monday, August 31, 2020 - Bottom line: this stuff is delicious. It has a slight oxidative note, nuttiness, and layers of white fruit. It has a savory/saline note and hints of butterscotch on the finish that makes it so crushable. It just tastes good, hard to not pound the whole bottle in an a half hour. Uncanny. Silky and sophisticated, but crushable, too. Well done.
