Nice review, man.

I was unimpressed with the Murcias, but my experience was much... flatter, I guess, than yours. Perhaps a little more down time. I didn't get the cocoa sweetness and spicy red pepper, which is something I think I would like, it was much more one-dimensional for me. Kind of dull earth and chocolate notes, but no sparkle to it at all.

I agree with you, the main Caldwell line is stellar and these are a clear step down, and appropriately so given the price difference. Given what I can generally get the main line for at Small Batch, I think the Gibraltar is the only one I'll be stocking, the Gibraltar was actually much better than I anticipated it would be.
