Community Tasting Note

November 2, 2018 - Purchased this bottle at the winery after being assured that it would still be good. It wasn't. Opened the bottle and I was overwhelmed by the smell of an overflowing septic tank. I can only assume that the bottle was heavily affected by Brettomyces. It clearly was not corked but it smelled and tasted (Yes, I did take a tiny taste) like it belonged better in a latrine than a bottle.
I was very disappointed in H. Stagnari winery after the incident. It is always possible to get a bad wine. But I emailed them almost two months ago about the wine and to this day, I have received no reply. Since then, (24 December 2018), I had a bad experience with another of the aged wines I bought at the winery -- a 2000 Dayman. But that is another tasting note.667 views
