Overall
Score
7.5
Nose
Very odd: turnip skin, bread crust, burning wood. With water, Indian spices and blonde tobacco notes.
Palate
Liquorous. Marsala-like burnt edge. A little tannic and tight in the mouth. Water loosens things up bringing out orange and chocolate.
Finish
Short, slightly bitter.
Comment
Can't quite get over that odd nose.
