Martine Nouet

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
