It's rare that I come across a true "fruit bomb." Usually you get "fruity notes" or "I get a bit of apricot" or something like that. But this bullseyes that whole (and I argue somewhat rare) category.  Like, you can't miss the fruity burst, which comes on a little bit stronger than you'd expect for the ABV. Stone fall fruits and mango, tropical stuff, maybe pinapple aspects, grapefruit, old-school Juicyfruit gum. The only reason I'm not going straight A is because the finish doesn't fully deliver on the promise of the nose and fun of the palate, but it's not a bad finish whatsoever. A/A-
