Taster

Nose: Oaky,sour. Cider cellar. Wet soil. Mushrooms. A hint of chicken broth.

Palate: The same sourness as on the nose. Pretty tough on the tongue. Grippy oak and not much more.

Finish: Dry, tangy.

Comment: One more example of unbalanced oakiness. That sensation of nosing and tasting oak juice is not\rvery exciting.

Score: 7
