1.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20 minutemat (2787) - Shrewsbury, Shropshire, ENGLAND - DEC 31, 2013
500ml bottle from Kris Wines. Vinegar aroma from the off with a nasty sour taste that conjurs rotting dog bone with biscuit malts and some more vinegar. I presume something very wrong has happened with the bottle conditioning process for it to taste this bad. Will have to re-rate with another bottle or find it on cask somewhere.
