To say "Drank from my cellar" in this instance would be a slight misnomer; maybe opened from my cellar and then discarded. Fully 7/8 of the bottle remains and will do so. A previous taster Blackey scored it pretty much correct; the wine is pale and weak looking, has a curious petroleum nose and is sharp, mean and green on the palate. It is quite the worst offering I have had in a long time. Rather disappointed that my Sam's would be flogging this at all, even at the price. Very unpleasant.

Not good. I thought it had no flavor-tasted lots of alcohol upon opening. Jorgy thought it tasted like wallpaper. Did get better after 25 minutes hence the 70 (below average) instead of 69 (avoid). I do not recommend purchasing this wine.

Simply awful. I smell pesticides. I will be returning the unopened bottle to the wine shop.

a touch of matchstick that never really blew off, but an otherwise fresh and nice nose. Not great on the palate, too acidic, unbalanced.
