Received the Byrne orders from DM earlier this week.
First tried the Sangiovese and as
@AFAFA reported it wasn’t nice at all. It smelled bad (my first association was ethanol) and the taste was off. Would be hard to guess the grape on blind tasting, the high alcohol content killed any fruit flavours.
Next I’ve opened the Grenache, with low expectations I must add, but to my surprise it was quite nice. Like the Sangiovese it was also 15% but for Grenache it’s perfect (I had stronger). It’s aged nicely and ready to drink now. The $59 RRP is rubbish but < $10 was good price for decent quaffer.
Called DM to return the Sangiovese.
