Nose
Quite a weighty spirit, with lots of seemingly uncoherent notes. Rhubarb jam and pear but also sour notes (lime), broken branches, hints of grist and raw potatoes. A greasy component (maybe sunflower oil). A hint of vase water? The slightly bulky character is underlined by some meaty sherry notes.
Palate
Slightly wacky again. There's this fat, meaty side again, but also a firm sourness (tart berries, giving it a really juicy touch) and a clear winey note, a slightly green / herbal bitterness and some cheesy touches. Ahum. Lemon peel. Grassy hints. A light earthy note too.
Finish
Quite long, tense and tart with this winey edge.
