Would like some new sheng recommendations

I am after some new sheng after a hiatus of a few months..

Thick, aromatic, deep, complex, lively, colourful, crazy even, did I say aromatic? medicinal…? I can handle bitter & powerful

Not Yiwu, care nothing for qi.. or smoke, or too old woodsy tastes

The last one I truly loved was the jingmai in a pot from crimson lotus. for me it tasted like some kind of space fruit. I was really impressed, but it sold out during my poor months recently, i’m truly gutted :/ but i’m grateful because a bad pasty swapped some for some heicha, so i got to try it, and level up a bit with puerh knowledge.

Any idea of something that will knock me out with 3D taste? I want to come back here with a 100 review.

From the top of my head …
Everything you’ve asked for, minus the medicinal notes but it does the job anyway ;)

I have one of these stashed away. Seems I may need to get it out.

Yunnan Sourcing is selling the 2017 Menghai 7542 that was quite good. Had it today. Definitely won’t break the bank.
