Yeah I'm thinking I'm with Lee on this one. When I saw the rest of the high ratings as I was drinking it I was like is there something I'm missing I should really give this at least a 4...but. Definitely get waxy, vanilla honey and mineral citrus but the alcohol has a sharp ethanolly plasticy type edge which dominates. Water helped a bit but didn't carry the day. Maybe this is one which needs a whole bottle to work through and open up and calm down? Anyhow its around $180USD a bottle and for me max 3.5 rounding down on VFM.

Cheers. Def agree with you on the No Name. Much better!
Yeah, the waxiness and price point hurt this one quite a bit. It’s definitely not worth the current $200 asking price. Great review. Cheers.
