The balance and complexity of flavors this has is outstanding. It goes more into the savory side (which I generally prefer), but not in a too powerful amount. Strong vegetalness, lighter fruits. The 5 Sentidos bottlings I have had have killed it, and I will be looking to purchase multiple full bottles from them in the future.
