Warm plastic and bandaid nose... Suggests this has been influenced by Brett.... Will have to try again and update.

Not sure if this is a bad bottle, but I get no fruit on the nose. Like a warm river raft, this wine is super plastic. Bandaids, plastic toys, lit match, kerosene. Palate shows a glimmer of acidity that drops and keeps dropping until you feel weird and sad. Hopefully just a bad bottle!

I had this at lunch yesterday with fried clams and Caesar salad, very nice fruit but somewhat soft on the acid for my expectation. I just needed to try a NZ Gruner...
