This chased the Chappellet, which was was a tough act to follow, But this Hess went toe-to-toe. And while it fell a shade short, at $23 per, it’s a winner. It presents superbly, and if you close your eyes, it’s tough to discern the difference. The Chappellet is slightly more extracted and dense, but beyond that, honors even. This is a case purchase. I’m going back to the well!

I like this one. Smooth and light for a cab. Not a lot of taste but an easy drink
