The bottle had 2 glasses poured out of it. One was the first taste... and it had notes of asparagus and earthy mushrooms... not 2 great tastes for wine. The 2nd glass, she let breathe for a few hours, and tried it. Again, asparagine notes and a weird taste invaded the mouth and nose. So the bottle sat, un-drank, since that time, and will be poured out tonight following this blog post.
If you prefer wines that taste like asparagus, or the metabolized asparagine scent you can smell in the bath room when you empty your bladder after eating asparagus... then this wine is for you. In our house, we do not prefer such tastes in our wine. It May Have Been just a bad bottle - that happens from time to time, to even the best vineyards. I am not condemning all of Run Riot, just this bottle, to the San Diego County sewer system.
In an effort to clean out old bottles from my office, there will be several more wine-related posts in the coming days.
Enjoy
