Le Temps Retrouvé Syrah
Languedoc Roussillon, France
Off the bat, fun and fruity with a touch of good VA on the nose, palate is tart and juicy - classic chugger. Then it just becomes completely demolished by mouse. I’ve got a bit of a tolerance for it in low levels but this just became pretty gross after an hour and undrinkable on day 2. Rating reflects its potential but this bottle is unfortunately flawed. Question for anyone reading: do you return mousey wine? What if you bought it at a firmly natty shop?
