Community Tasting Notes 2

  January 31, 2010 - I was one of the wineo's that took a try at this, it was absolutely undrinkable in my opinion. Entirely disgusting smelling. The palate wasn't initially as bad as the nose but this had the most odd and horrible finish I had ever experienced. Just when you were happy it was over it came back with another wave of flavor more disgusting than the initial palate. I can't believe Div was able to put down two glasses of this, respect!

  January 31, 2010 - Cork was fully saturated and just slipped out. Color is very dark; nearly black. Nose was absolutely putrid. I tried to detail some notes, but the hairs on my neck stood up every time I got near it, and my nose yelled at my brain. Absolutely rancid smelling. The palate was equally as terrible and lingered on the tongue evolving over a minute to more and more horrific flavors. A real put down, this wine. Not obviously flawed in any way... just so far gone. Had 5 wineo friends try it with similar experiences (perhaps I liked it the least). Then I had one friend try it, who always claims wine just tastes like wine to him so he never cares what we feed him... well, not only try it, but we poured him two full glasses of it and he drank it all without even making a comment. Wine is just wine after all, I guess!
