I’d been dying to try a bottle of this for ages, given its cult status and scarcity in the market. And it’s very nice. Good pretty strawberry nose and ruby color, good concentration and some interesting herbal notes. A bit round and subacid and a noticeable bit of RS that hasn’t really integrated, minerals just keep it in balance. Overall character is still very primary, not a whole lot of complexity yet. But I can see how this may be a wholly different beast in time. Won’t touch the next bottle for 3+ years.
