4.0
Oh, this is properly clever stuff. Opens with smoked butter and what I swear is smoked cheddar - weird but it works. Then baked apples come tumbling in with crushed seeds and honey whispers. The mousse behaves like a well-trained butler, the acidity keeps everything honest. Not trying to be Champagne, just being excellent Oltrepò. Yet it definitely can compete.
