This one did not impress me at all. I must admit we have had above average rainfall this summer (over fourteen inches above normal) which probably has something to do with it, but I found this variety quite bland, especially for a black tomato. However, Other varities I grew such as Brandywein, Prudens Purple, Black Cherry and Rose tasted very good or exceptional despite the difficult conditions.
