Nose

Grapes, rye bread, bruised cooking apples. With water up comes some chemical stinkiness, like boat diesel. Gooseberries and marzipan.

Palate

Rye, earthiness and rubber tyres. Intense.

Finish

Lots of European oak rubberiness, like gnawing on a Wellington boot.

Comment

A dirty, grizzly thing which dolls out some rough, tough flavours. Be (slightly) delighted and (mostly) disgusted all at the same time. Never ever boring, but very far from perfect.
