Rarely do I find a wine that is undrinkable and I am hoping this was somehow a bad bottle. But this was a very unpleasant bottle. Upon opening it smelled like rubber cement and bell peppers. First sip left a new tire rubber taste that lingered. Tried to let it sit for two days and tried decanting and letting it sit for about an hour. That did not work as well. Same bad taste and smell. Hope something was wrong with the bottle and one day I am proven wrong. But is going to have to be given to me before I try it again.
