What do you mean by goat ?. Do you mean Generalized Occupational Aptitude Test ?.
Is LZ still the GOAT? I’ll make it easier: your 3 choices. Preferably you’ve tasted 50 or more mango varieties. (Sadly I don’t qualify.)
Notable mangoes I’ve never eaten: E4, M4, CC, Phoenix, Carrie, Cac, ZINC, OS, and most Indian varieties.
As far as LZ and diseases, Har says he removed all the diseased fruit when still small and undeveloped at Truly Tropical and the rest of the crop was fine.

I have not seen this problem on my LZ tree.Thanks John and how about next season I will take some prime Carrie mango to your place so you can sample. You should remind me if you are interested.
My new favorite is the Young.
Good question. And I can't answer based on only 3. Because mangos have such different flavor profiles, best I can do is say the best from each category (which of itself is only nebulously defined). So here goes:GOAT MANGOSCLASSIC - Tie between Ah Ping and EdwardINDIAN/ALPHONSO - from Devgad India: Alphonso, from Florida: Super JulieINDIAN/WEST INDIAN RESIN - Tie between Sunrise and White PiriINDIAN/WEST INDIAN SPICE - MeskCITRUS - Tie between Lemon Zest, Cac, Peach Cobbler (all have different complementary flavor aspects)INDOCHINESE - Sweet TartCOCONUT - Tie between M-4 and Coconut CreamPINEAPPLE - Pineapple PleasureCOCONUT/PINEAPPLE - Sugarloaf/E-4FLORAL - MahachanokUNIQUE - ST Maui (flavor is citrus (not orange), Pineapple, Guava)

(Sadly I don’t qualify.)For me so far this year it has been Dwarf Hawaiian Carrie and Dot. With Coconut Cream Karen Michelle tied for 4th. I am coming down to South Florida next week so this may change. So far here in Central Florida I've only had a few pickering's. My sweet tart and orange sherbet aren't quite ready yet. 🙂
