Re: Don't waste your money on K&L wine at Redwood City
With TCA, in my experience, the taint smell gets stronger the longer the bottle is open. If the OP took the bottle back a day or two later, it should have been pretty obvious.
Also with TCA the fruit is completely stripped. Is that what the OP is describing by 'boring and bland.'
