Does not like this wine:

87 Points

Monday, May 12, 2014 - Skränmunkarna May 2014 (Minervaskolan, Umeå, Sweden.): Blind.
Light yellow.
Dark, mellow and a rather unattractive "spicey" nose that was attractive to some tasters, but not to me. Towards sweaty teenager.
In the mouth, it has a fabulous, creamy mouthfeel. But... This murky special character towards cummin and Mexican food does not do well to marry my taste buds.

My score is for mouthfeel and the fabulous concentration and intensity of this wine.
But:

I would NEVER buy this!
