Uuuuf, this was seriously good. Bursting with character - vivid fruit, spice, brioche with beef tartare, citrus soda with echinacea (yo, Žyvčyk), and zest. Just gorgeous.
Precise, deep, and layered, with a long and satisfying finish. The oak is beautifully integrated - adds texture without sticking out. Plush but never flashy, it stays on the right side of elegant.
Funnily enough, it ended up taking the top spot in the blind tasting. And honestly? Well deserved. A standout.
