Nose: Pear, magic marker, pine, sea salt, hints of salt fish, hints of apples.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, astringent, turns watery.
Tasting: Sweet sour. Black tea, pine, apples, pears, sour plums, salt fish, hints of black pepper.
Finish: Long. Butter, black tea, salt fish, sour plums.

Comments:

Not a little fishy! But the salty savoury fish goes well with black tea and pine. Very Russian, in a way. There's a fair amount of fruit as well, and the whole is surprisingly sweet. Not unpleasant.

Verdict:

I like this.
