- dananne - 05-26-2003 Guess this could go in the Pinot thread, also, but here goes . . . In lieu of actual tasting notes, I'm going to give you the dialogue (rough and from memory) between my wife and I while trying this wine this weekend. Me: "So, what do you think?" (after pouring the first glass, following 30 minutes decanting) Wife: "Well, the nose is, um, different. Really, Dan, it smells. Like poo. Literally." Me: "Honey, I believe that is generally termed BARNYARD." Wife: "Poo." Me: "So, what do you think about the taste?" Wife: "Well, the taste follows the nose . . ." Me: "I'm getting some cherries. It's very smokey, isn't it?" Wife: "Yes. Smokey poo. With cherries. Here, try it while holding your nose." Me: "That's not a good way to try wine. A great deal of the taste is from the olifactory sense." Wife: "It's a good way to try wine that smells and tastes like smokey poo." There you have it, in a nutshell. We had 2 bottles, bought from 2 different stores in 2 different states, with similar notes. Despite the above dialogue, it wasn't an offensive wine, just very . . . different. We loved the '99. $20. Alc. 13.4% - Georgie - 05-26-2003 Now, see Steve? That's not offensive...it's very funny! - stevebody - 05-26-2003 Not Offensive: Absolutely Very Funny: Huh? - wondersofwine - 05-27-2003 I for one LOL. How does your wife feel about the cat's pee scent in New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc? - dananne - 05-27-2003 She generally follows ww's "sissy whites" view and sticks to reds. I'll try to slip one past her soon to catch the reaction [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img] |
