From what I've read about tomato taste, sweetness also brings out other flavors. Maybe this is why I only like sweet fruit now, as I've gotten a bit jaded with tomato taste.

I always get some tasters in to give a verdict. The Whiskeyjack scored every time.

The other two F2 fruits that I grew were each very different tasting. The large red I called Robins Nest has a classic red tomato taste with lots of umami and a very tangy finish. The smaller one Winter Plum didn't produce many fruit but they were really outstanding - sweet and very complex. I think they were better tasting than Whiskeyjack, although I usually pick blacks over reds... go figure.
