And I think I have another bottle that I'll try holding onto for a few years ...
1/9/18, 10:36 AM - Hello Stern Owl: As I alluded, I had reviewed this wine a few months ago and rated it 88. At the time I described it as "Refined and mellow, as you might expect with a 12-year-old wine. Other than that, it's not particularly remarkable, although it's reasonably priced (US $30+) for what it is."This bottle (from the same purchase), on the other hand, I'd have given only a 75, as it was neither refined nor mellow. Specifically, I found it essentially lacking anything interesting in flavour, colour (metaphorically), notes of anything interesting, just had a neutral "generic" taste (my companion was less generous ...). But it was drinkable, in the sense that a $10 bottle of OK wine can be drinkable, so not so flawed as to pour down the drain. But I chose to mark it "flawed" since my palate hasn't changed THAT much in 2 months and I assume that bottle suffered some trauma at some point. But even in my original 88-point review I noted that I preferred the Tondonia for $10-15 more.
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
