Lovely wine. Better on day two so probably could have used a little air on day one.

Disappointed in this one. Usually one of my faves. I should have paid attention to my previous note and waited longer to see what would happen with a little more age. 2nd day was definitely not better, so drink it up once opened.

If you have this, I would drink it now. It is really tasting great right now and did not need a long decant.

This is a strange wine. Tons of strawberry on the nose and in the taste - almost like a fruit punch. Had a slight bit of that french funk too. Drank 1/2 the bottle on night one because my guests really did not go for this one as it was too far outside the "normal" wine experience. I drank the rest of the bottle on day two and can say it did not get any better. So, if you want an unusual wine, give this a try, but steer clear if you want a traditional flavor profile.

1/12/2021 - losososjoe Likes this wine: NR

This one tasted great straight from the bottle after pulling cork. It tasted so good that I thought to myself "This is why I buy this wine". Unfortunately after about an hour the alcohol took over and the flavors became muted and I was disappointed I didn't drink the wine quickly enough. 15.8% ABV so maybe not surprising.

This one was effervescent upon opening. Drank about a quarter of the bottle and then the rest on night two. When I pulled the cork on day two it popped like a champagne cork. In the end, I thought second night was better than first. Nothing wrong with the wine, but it pales in comparison to the Linne Calodo first label.

Ok, for a $10 wine from Gross Out, what can I say. Surprisingly drinkable. Nothing wrong, nothing special. Cork was a little tough to get out in one piece.

Really liked this one. Drank over three days with just the cork in the bottle. Held up just fine. Better than the Montafi from the same vintage.
