Would I buy a bottle? No
Thoughts: While similar stats to Episode 019, this definitely had quite a bit more orange to it which was enjoyable, but other than that, it was surprisingly thin and hot. And the sour note on the nose was a bit of a turnoff every time I’d go for a sip. A bit disappointed in this one.
