Tinto Pesquera (Spain) ($24): I've enjoyed Tinto
Pesquera in the past but this is a disappointment. Not much
fruit on the nose with some mercaptans (reminiscent of fresh
dog poop) that blew off. Nothing but stems and tannin on the
palate. Blecckk. JD (5/99)

Fleur du Cap Pinotage (South Africa): It is said that
good French cheese should offend at least two of the senses.
The nose on this wine is reminiscent of a good French
cheese. The palate is no better. I think it may have caused
some physical damage. A definite "cull party" candidate. JD
