Following with interest. My Angie fruited for the first time last year and the fruit was very disappointing, I understand exactly what you mean about tasting spoiled. I was advised last year by the excellent folks here to be patient and see if the flavor changes as the tree matures. This year, tmytree is holding around 15 fruit, all still a couple weeks from ripening. Sure hoping flavor is better this year! I haven't had the opportunity to try one from another source, so hard to say if I like them in general. I do have all sand soil, for whatever that's worth. Will report back after I've tasted this year's crop.
