Toasty, sulphides, steely. Pineapple, green mango, preserved lemon. Some complexity, tart acid and creamy but lacks flow.
Sulphides may be divisive but at least there's character

Lifted nutty nose H2S, vitamin B, palate broad and textural generous with the finish a little warm.
|
great attempt at lees and oak. gun flint, supported by great line of fruit. length of flavour.
|
Almond and a mealy lift, bilgy swamp lift, Popcorn, MLF lift? Big an textural, large format, nice acid, texture and weight. Interesting style.
