Overall
Score
7.4
Nose
Estery, with melon, pear drops and ripe bananas. Meadow flower, varnish and something lightly chemical (sorry, couldn't put my finger on it). With water it turns like hot, dusty radiators, and turned a little acidic with a distinct whiff of vinegar.
Palate
Fruity, slightly peaty and woody. A little thin.
Finish
More woody bitterness.
Comment
I was put off by that sour/acidic vinegar note that seemed like a clear fault.
