Flavor 42.4 / 50
A-B-A song format: spiced walnut -> silage... long unfolding de-acidulation (calamansi -> pineapple / red banana mix) -> gorgeous currant goes from fresh tart to dried raisin-sweetness until a chocolate tobacco backshift solidifies the whole structure
Quality 18.9 / 20
Tremendous length, evolution & harmony; craft so skillfully pitched it’s undetectable (even vanilla hides well, coaxing flavors, & transitions)
