Sad. Kept a bottle hoping for good bottle variation. No such luck. Bad nose (TCA, bacteriological issues?); odd flavor and finish. Bought on sale from WTSO, usually a good source. 2012 Domaine des Monts Luisants Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Les Monts Luisants

2012 Domaine des Monts Luisants Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Monts-Luisants ($50 in 2014). Light-mid ruby, brick edges; odd red fruit nose; herbaceous, flawed, stinky, TCA (?); mid-body; awful flavor to match the nose. 13 UC Davis score, 82 other scales. First time I tasted it. Bought four bottles. Will seek a refund.

I assume this is what aspartame or some other industrial sweetener smells and tastes like. Undrinkable. Did someone pour meiomi in this bottle of Burgundy?

Tried to go into tasting this with an open mind, because I'd seen the notes others had left on this wine. After an hour in the decanter, the nose immediately smelled off before I even tried tasting. The taste was absolutely nowhere close to how a premier cru pinot should taste. I can't tell if the wine was ruined in the winemaking process or if it was some kind of cork taint (there were no signs around of the capsule of it being cooked).
A friend purchased it on WTSO and they're going to try to get their money back. Sounds like maybe the entire lot of this wine is bad. Do not buy, and if you've been holding it waiting for something special, I'd say open it and hope your bottle is good - but don't waste any storage space with this bottle.
