Saturday, January 24, 2015 - Epic bubbles (blinded) (Zorg's place, Umeå, Sweden): *Homemade beauty*

This 20-odd-year-old dry fig-wine has clearly been down into the grave and come back. At least once. Like a VERY interesting Sherry. Ultra dry and with enough intriguing aromas to possibly wake the dead. Burnt toast. Oxidized aspects galore. Burnt hair. Strange rubbery aromas. Aromas of machinery and a very rainy summers day.
Has a particularily strong personality!

Best thing: There is more!

(Some raised concerns regarding possible health issues with drinking this.)

However, I do understand that scoring your own product so high, may walk into the territory of arrogance. But, I've been as honest as I could. Will write a new review some years down the line.
Who knows, maybe you join us in Umeå :-)
