So, is it very late to mature? Scheepers lists it as determinate and 75-85 days. How did it produce for you?

I have tasted ones that had some sweetness, but no zip, kinda one dimensional and not my faves, but this was like a great sweet cherry tomato, overwhelming, powerfully sweet. I know I traded seeds to one other tomatovillian, and was just wondering if others have had the same experience with this one? I'm trying to figure if this "new to me" tomato is supposed to taste like this, or did I do something to it that caused it? Cause if I did, I'd like to do it again
