The Fancy Bottle That Left Me Wanting More

First things first—the stopper looks like a mushroom, and I can’t unsee it. Every time I pick it up, I half-expect to hear the Super Mario power-up sound. It’s a fun touch, and the bottle itself comes in a nice canister that screams, “I cost a lot of money.” And it does.

Now, onto the pour. The nose brings pepper with a touch of sweetness, though I can’t quite place exactly what that sweetness is. It’s there, it’s pleasant, but it doesn’t introduce itself properly—just a quick nod before disappearing into the background.

The sip? A little underwhelming. It starts out fine—some pepper, that hint of sweetness—but then it just kind of… stops. The flavor doesn’t linger, doesn’t evolve, doesn’t give you much to hang onto. It’s not bad by any means, just flatter than I expected for something at this price point.

Final thoughts? It’s good, but for the money, I’d expect more. If you’re curious, find a generous friend who owns a bottle and try a sample first. That way, you can decide if the Mario Mushroom Stopper is worth adding to your shelf.
