It’s an unhelpful description until one learns that it’s meant to evoke the muskiness of an old fur coat, which makes for an odd but not entirely unpleasant aroma in wine.

These experiences were the highlight of my trip to Ethiopia and one of the most fascinating and enjoyable encounters I have ever had the privilege to experience in many years of wildlife watching.
