Anyone here ever here the expression "cheese nose"?

Does it mean something or does it just smell funny?

Around these parts, when a wine critic says a wine has a "cheese nose" it is not a good thing. I think it means that the critic has smelled the wine and found something fungal or moldy in it.

Not that much context. It was mentioned on another board. Here's the story, for what it's worth.

In the FWIW category: a quick Google of cheese nose reveals, among other things, a link to an Irish pub, a link to a Belgian pub, and a link to a history of Michael Jackson's nose.
