Was she chomping on Tums, maybe?

I disagree on the acid, and I can be put off by older wines with little fruit if the acid is too high. This wasn’t one of those to my palate.

It may not have helped that you were drinking it with lobster!

And how do you know the somm was recoiling from the acid rather than the tannin? (I didn’t see her recoil, but you may have been better positioned to see her.)

Because she said “Ooo, sour!” under her breath and made the bit-into-a-lemon-face? Clearly she was overreacting - it was a fine wine - but lets not pretend this wasn’t 12-tone burgundy.

12-tone Burgundy?
