"Wow, wieder mal ein sehr gelungener Long Pond meiner Meinung nach. Finde diesen sehr süffig und macht Lust auf mehr. Und wie es nun mal bei mir so üblich ist, habe ich ihn völlig überraschend auch als Mixer ausprobiert. Super lecker."

"Spannender Low Ester Long Pond. Hier ist viel los. Warm am Gaumen mit einem fleischig, süßem Profil und dann Kühl im Abgang mit Menthol. Die Nase hat richtig viel Vanille und Frucht. Lecker und einfach zu trinken. Hier kann lange geforscht und gleichzeitig einfach gesippt werden. P/L=👌"
"Kein schlechter, aber für mich ein völlig unspektakulärer Long Pond. Fruchtig und sonst ganz nett, aber für mich kein Vergleich z. B. zum tollen Wu Dram LPS."
