Wine Squares Day 6: Welcome, to Disappointment Land 🦕. Expensive price; mid taste.


Wine Squares Day 6

We are in disappointment land here. Expensive wine, but just tastes mid level. Feeling a few Burgundies belong here. You know the drill.

    Spring Mountain Elivette back when they were trying to charge $300 for it.

    (Yes this is a shit post but I actually think it sorta fits haha)

    Henschke Hill of Grace has been super disappointing to me.

    Opus One. Never lives up to it price point

    Perhaps unpopular opinion but nowadays I’d class *Tignanello* as expensive and taste mid.

    When the wine was €75-90 it was a good P/Q. But seen retail now even as high as €200 (but €150ish mid point)

    For that price the wine is expensive and tastes mid.

    A lot of Dom Pérignon that I’ve had.

    Amazon de Palmer is the worst prestige cuvee I have tried by miles compared to the others. A clarification it’s not undrinkable but man was it underwhelming

    Armand de Brignac Ace of spade? Absolute mid to dog shit champagne for stupid money just to impress in a club

    SLWC – Artemis, Fay, Chillies Valley, all just taste off to me. I know these are intended to be great wines and have a large following, just not vibing with me.

    Same with Shafer Hillside select, relentless. 1.5 and td9. I want to like these but, yet to enjoy one…. just tastes average to me.

    Tignanello. I had a 2014 that was just.. ok. One of my most underwhelming wine experiences to date.

    Can I nominate the entire category of steakhouse cabs?

    Can’t believe no one has said caymus.
