Well, this one was an unpleasant surprise - bought this in S.Fe as a cheapie, reliable wine - good producer, screwcap, etc.. -- and boy was this metallic tasting! This mostly Grenache (Syrah-Mourvedre) blend is normally solid. From the onset, I should have known, it had a sour fruit vibe going. It was nowhere near the 88/100 that WSpectator gave it. And it simply went south from there on days 2-3 as it started tasting like IronMan had dipped his boys into this wine - ridiculously metallic. Just a bad bottle...but still disappointing. 70/100.
Bottom line: A wine for paint removal or light crafts projects.
