Some people apparently don't mind the Rhone brett odour, but I can't get past it. Sara's reference to 'slightly bretty' is an understatement. It was overwhelming, to the point of being undrinkable where we put 3/4 of a $60 bottle down the sink. Under the brett was some woody fruit, but did I mention the yeast infection? This is why WineAlign should blind taste, as it seems to me reviewers started with the label, but shouldn't have.
