Souadi Main 2018

A 9/10 for me. If this was on the tree for another 2-3 days I think I would have died and gone up to fig heaven. You can tell it's perfect when the neck turns black & shrivels a little. Historically it's been a light berry fig for me. Sugar sweet like a Celeste, but has a nice refreshing berry flavor attached. In this heat it was more intense, but still not intense like a Hardy Chicago and oddly much sweeter than last year. Can compete with the figs I tasted from Doug at Matty's last year.

2017 review: 9/10. Can compete with figs from California. As good as Smith, but way more refreshing... however totally different in that it has no richness or acidity. I think it's able to achieve this rating because of its ability to dry on the tree even in very wet conditions. I have been astounded. I like to let figs go as long as possible and this one can go the distance. I know it's ripe when it falls off the tree. Not kidding. If you've never got one of these to dry on the tree, do yourself a favor and try it. Really looking forward to this one in the years to come.

Contrary to last year's review, I haven't been able to get it to stay on the tree longer than 6 days. It needs another 8 to reach last year's ripeness. For whatever reason the organza bags are knocking these off too soon.
