Notes of flat Sprite and cough medicine. It's a perfect storm of unfortunate - a cloying flavor, a harsh aftertaste, and a complete lack of subtlety or nuance. If this were a mass market cheap wine, it would be vaguely disappointing. As an ostensibly quality, serious wine, it's just about the most spectacular failure I've drunk.
Blech.

Wine.Woot Labrat. My overall impression is that this is interesting and definitely worth trying. While I don't like much oak in my reds, I do like it in Chardonnay--so steel Chards don't usually do it for me. I'm glad I was able to have a bottle and it would make a great summer wine.
