I bought one bottle of the 2013 for $30 at the tasting room and split it with my wife that night. Couldn't finish the bottle. Tried to chug it while holding my nose but I couldn't stomach it. My wife just dumped hers in the flower beds. I'm confused, though, because what I tasted in the tasting room was good. In the tasting room it was thin and dry. The bottle I brought home was syrupy. I think most people like this what I call syrupy, they call it chewy. My adjective "thin" means not syrupy. — 10 years ago
