Not that bad, as I thought it was. Nose: smoke, cigarette smoke, a shade of sour dough (bad thing, definitely). Taste: pepper, smoke. Aftertaste: short, peppery. Update: two days after bottle was opened (hello, screw cap), smoke mostly disappeared, and shades of sun-dried fruits come on the foreground. No more "sour dough" smell. Taste and aftertaste remains the same. Total: 2.3/5 stars (68 score).
