Tasting-Neu Direction Cabernet Sauvignon (red)-

Name: Neu Direction
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2010
Price: $15

Shop/wine critic/winery review: This Cabernet Sauvignon shows very good purity of fruit and skillful winemaking. This wine is full of black-fruit aromas, depth and style. The palate pushes ripe plum and berry fruit along with chocolate and the finish is chewy and correct in terms of tannins and structure.

My review: The smell is of slightly spoiled fruit that has been soaked in vinegar. The first taste the moment it goes in your mouth is quite pleasant. It’s jammy, sweet, and fruity, but then comes an absolutely horrible after taste that kills anything your mouth could ever taste again. It’s terribly bitter and very dry. It was sad and frankly shocking after the nice start.

CONCLUSION: Would not drink again.
