Community Tasting Note

• RPerro Does not like this wine: 60 points

  April 27, 2017 - Yuck. Smells and tastes like stewed fruit mixed with soy sauce. Really cloudy, turning brown, definitely way past drinkable. Disappointed this was included in my Wellington "surprise pack" from Woot.com. Should have been drank about 10 years ago. Down the drain...

  4/28/17, 2:40 PM - I received a couple of these same bottles, so I have one left. I will be curious to see if it's ok. I did see a couple people comment on this being a very cloudy wine. It's possible that some bottles were flawed, and the wine is super oxidized and cloudy, but mine had a ton of very fine sediment, that will go right through a regular wine funnel screen. I hadn't prepared for that, and ended up pouring my first couple glasses through a washed paper Hario coffee filter. Not the quickest, but the filtered wine was crystal clear. I let the rest of it sit in a decanter for several hours, and that allowed the sediment to mostly settle. Don't know if that was an issue in your bottle.
