Method:

Tasting and Additional Notes:
- 9/07: Taste at bottling is good, peach forward with a mango finish. A bit dry for me, but perfect for the Mrs. as intended
- 11/08: first bottle opened. Very dry (to me), enjoyed by wife. Still a bit strong alcohol burn upfront, fruits follow and are more prominent if left to breathe. Wife mentions yeasty taste, I couldn’t find it.
