Community Tasting Notes 1

• CaliCab wrote: 60 points

  April 14, 2009 - Purchased on a QPR hunt - went to the LWS and grabbed a case of under $8 wines. I had high hopes, at $3.99 if this was even passable, it might have been a winner.
  
  As it turns out, this was brutally bad. So, so brutally bad. This was so brutally bad, that after I dumped my glass, it literally made me not want any wine for the rest of the evening. My palate was shocked into submission, as if it had been hit square in the face with a tear gas canister and beaten with a baton, then dragged through the streets behind a gaseous Clydesdale. This was shockingly bad. High acid, intense tannins, and an after taste that literally has no description - this is now 4 days later, and I am only now able to confront my painful memories of this wine, and yet my soul aches with longing to erase it from my psyche. I am getting chills - please, make it stop. I need to go take a shower - this wine has robbed me of my will to live.
