Taster
Nose: A definite sour, unpleasant milky aroma. Varnish-like fresh paint scent. Cedar notes behind.
Palate: Lots of liquorice and aniseed (like Liquorice Allsorts). Nothing much else.
Finish: Liquorice again. Turning slightly bitter.
Comment: One-dimensional with a butyric aroma which doesn't help. Far from exciting.
Score: 6.8
