An exception bottle of Coganc. The fruits and bright and crisp, roaring to the front and dominating the conversation. The spices and oak play nicely with them providing for a good juxtaposition but not overpowering the fruits. An excellent bottling, and one I have to admit I wish I had snagged a whole bottle of in retrospect.
