My first experience with brettanomyces (I bought this bottle intentionally based on controversial reviews).
I'm not one to shy away from dominant aromas, but while I was able to find salty meat, baked blackberry and eucalyptus, I was overwhelmed by the brett and found this wine undrinkable. Like I'd been to the farm and didn't wash my hands before dinner.
