TN: Murphy's Law tasting

MURPHY’S LAW TASTING - My house (2/25/2012)

David Zylberberg came over to share a bottle after work. The first one was bad. The second one was bad. The third one was bad. The fourth one was bad. The fifth one was OK, although he said he was sure it was corked. At least I cleared out some cellar space. Just one of those nights, I guess…I just posted this to WB because misery needs company.

Yikes.

The Cantemerle sounds pretty similar to the 96 Clerc Milon David and I had recently, which was cedary and tart and lacking in fruit.

Wow, that is a bad run of wine. Dan, given your commentary, I assume you bought the three chianti through some secondary source, as you did not seem to know the provenance of the wines?

Yup. The 90 Monsanto was from Mission Fine Wines in Staten Island, the 85 from K&L in California, and 88 Castello di Ama from Winebid. Ya win some, ya lose some.
