First Sips: Bursting Berry Bubblegum! 💥
Zoowaee - first slurps exploded with even more vibrant vinocity than expected! Intensely juicy blueberry akin to muffin batter coupled with tangy tropical bubblegum zest electrified sensors. 🤖💥
There was an underlying cidery funk charging it all up too in a camping by the orchard type way. So unruly yet inviting!
Towards the finish, a very minor astringency emerged. Just enough lemon-lime to keep it structured without overpowering the effusive base flavors. 🍋
Truly a wildly scrumptious profile! Full of flavor contrasts connecting cohesively - no easy feat.
Flavor Progression Over Time ⏳
Letting this bucking bronco rest reined in some edginess. The aggressively tangy tropical fruits mellowed into baked blueberry with a gentle floral infusion.
And the light astringency smoothed into sweet milk chocolate coating the mouth. Structured yet smooth with an echo of mixed berry bellini cocktails tying it all together.
A shape-shifting flavor show stopper highlighting origin diversity through funk factor.
