Mar 31st, 2020This wine is a disgrace to the dutraive record I so far have. At first it seems like the fun and super generous dutraive I am familiar with but give it 30 minutes to an hour, let alone the next day...and this is absolutely disgusting. This is bad wine. Mousy is just a word that begins to describe the defect. I have had 3 bottles of this before saying anything about it especially on a review comment and unfortunately I still have another bottle left if anyone wants it I’ll take $100 for this rare bottle. All 3 bottles did the same thing...corn chips, puke, and that sour beer note that is just vile and gross on the palette and for a long finish of disgusting. An absolute disgrace. I won’t be purchasing anymore dutraive after such a move. Disgraceful that importers and distributors also went along with selling this trash. Shameful. Truly a real disgrace of a wine. Should have just let the vintage go. This is like the sewer water of a bad storm. Just let it go. Don’t make us pay for this garbage.

As good a Beaujolais as I’ve ever had. From a secret stock at Battersby.
