Bad wine



Had two bad bottles from Wine Access tonight. One was a Morgon and the precious bottles wer fine. It seemed to have substantial TCA. The second was this cult bottle Sunce. The benevolent tasting note is: cloudy, dull ruby. Very forward aromas of acetone and some weirdly spicy thill. Acid is entirely out of balance relative to the limited, tart, immature red fruit. Finish produces an overwhelming desire to regurgitate, and unfortunately is long. 

I'll try another bottle in a day or two to confirm that this is not just poorly made. But, for the moment, I just write this off to bad wine.
