2008 Borsao Garnacha. Marushoku. 900yen

2.5 out of 5

The Don Quixote-ish image on the label should have warned me that this wine was going to be directionless.

An exotic spicy jam promised a satisfying conclusion, but then immediately dissolves into a pulpy mush. Drinking this wine is like watching a cricket match for the first time: the basic layout and equipment seem vaguely familiar, even exciting, but when the action starts you have no idea whats going on.

I'd drink this wine in the desert on a horse with no name, backward, playing solitaire with a deck of 51.
