Nose comes across like cereal, but also a little spicy and ethanoly, after airing out also hints of vanilla and apple or pear freshness. Sip initially with a hint of charred wood, but immediately after swallowing intense apple and acidity, almost like stomach acid or barfing apple schnapps back up. Truly vile. The impression fades as quickly as it comes. With coke it's more rounded with hints of vanilla and wood but an ever-present astringent off-taste.
