Oh boy. This is what happens when a professional with a superior palate shows up. Just more proof that my palate is not that good hah. But on the plus side, less is off putting. Ethanol bite I don’t care for. This one was smooth on that front.

Can’t wait to here more of your thoughts as it opens up.
