Taster
Nose: Intense, lightly fragrant nose: some grassiness and juicy fruits but this is a prickly character that's more austere than it initially seems.
Palate: Gutsy and zesty with an oily crunch mid-palate. Light and straight down the middle of the palate.
Finish: Zesty, peppery. Little short.
Comment: Have with Guinness to soften the slightly hard edges.
Score: 7.8
