Delicious. We usually don’t like them this fruity, but this was so fun. Lots of personality, well balanced, great finish, and quite food friendly . . . What’s not to like?

A bit disappointing to be honest. 93 is a decent score from me but I was expecting more based on all the hype. It’s obvious that great care was taken in the making, it had a polished mouthfeel and the high alcohol was quite well hidden, but it was monolithic on the nose and in taste. We enjoyed it, just no wow factor. Perhaps it was in a closed phase because we just couldn’t coax any complexity out of it.
