A sample provided by @Generously_Paul for our little tasting team. Have you ever heard of a tropical fruit called durian? It’s a large green outer skin fruit with a yellow fleshy center, grows primarily in Southeast Asia. It has an absolutely horrible fungal smell, but once you get past that smell, it taste decent. This here reminded me of that. I couldn’t stand the aroma...vegetal and fungal. A bit plastic-y. Honestly had the hardest time getting by the smell. Once I took a sip, not so bad. Hazelnuts and toffee; peppery , spicy. Finish is quick and a bit bitter. Just not for me, can’t get past the aroma. Acknowledge and move on to the next sample...
