This juice from The Colchagua Valley of Chile would choke a mule! A faintly sweet concoction with road-kill as a prominent engredient.... not just overripe grapes, that would be fine, but rotten meat! Poured a full glass of the stuff down to the drain monster and re-corked the rest on the faint hope that this buzzard might turn into a songbird overnight (figure the odds). About $10 at Costco and 13% alc.

Sounds like bull's blood. But did you like it?

No way, no how. Sampled before lunch and found no improvement, but now a strong overtone of wet cardboard. Down the drain it went.

Wet cardboard! Now it sounds like a bad bottle--cork?

Yeah, I thought TCA might be present. Will hold the one and only other bottle and give it a try later (but may be much later).
