Медный цвет. Виски, гвоздика, ириски, цедра апельсина, бадьян, варенье из яблок. Среднетелое, чуть окисленный пряный вкус с яркой пронзительной кислотностью и долгим сливочно-кислотным послевкусием. Подуставшая бутылка, не в лучшей форме. 16,5/20

Very upfront sours initially, gave way to something a little more stone fruity but this is a real punch in the chops no doubt. If it catches you in the right mood it could be a winner.
