This remains one of those pet-nats that gets it. Actually clean - none of that 'rotten' lottery you get with half the category. Approachable without being shallow, with real structure and volume, not just fizzy fruit juice. The lees add depth without funk. Fresh, alive, and it actually persists. Mineral backbone keeps it honest. Pure, uncomplicated pleasure done right.
More dosage this year, but everything still sings in harmony. This is the drier, more serious sibling of I Wish I was a Ninja 2024 - yellow fruits and sweet bread rather than pure hedonism. The mousse is absolutely killer, fresh and lively. One of the best pet-nats out there, and while it's not trying to be complex, it's clean as a whistle with everything perfectly integrated. That mousse though - properly stunning, like silk bubbles.
