A CHEAP relatively unknown Bordeaux red benefitted from the super hot 2003 vintage selling at Cad$9.99! The wine has bright young red fruits like red cherry, strawberry and raspberry followed by strong pig pen, foxy, gamey, dirty soil scents. The wine carries a good level of tannin and has reasonably structure but otherwise a simple offering. The finish is short. This wine needs decanting. It's NOT a wine for those who dislike the pig pen attack. Cad$9.99 is a bargain if you like the style. Rating 84-86 points.

    At lot of 'positive' tastes in wine, beer, whisky, food etc. are induced from yeast and bacteria. Too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing. BALANCE is the key word I guess. Many of these +ve tastes are more of an acquired taste like medicinal peaty taste in whisky is really from decayed plants buried in the soil...

    Absolutely not - more attribute to so called dirty wine making from a yeast named Brettanomyces. A corked wine is completely different and I am very good at detecting it.
