The end of the bottle was better than the beginning. SMWS nailed the tasting notes once again. This one is salty for sure. There is also a hint of plum hiding.

Thin sample

The 3.72 score up top pulls the average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
