I opened a bottle of Andezon 2009 Cotes du Rhone, and immediately noted an aroma of fresh-baked bread. This only intensified as it sat in the glass. While not unpleasant in and of itself, I could not abide it in my wine. It did not seem to bother my wife too much. For me, it was strong enough to be detected across the room! There was no spritz to the wine, so I don't think it was a re-fermentation issue. I though I could have just gotten a bad bottle, so I opened a second one a few days later. Same thing.
My brother who owns a wine bar in Berkley suggested that it could be an over preponderance of brettanomyces, but I've always heard of that being described as "sweaty saddle" (though I confess I've never had occasion to sniff such an object). ;-) Could it be diacetyl? Could this not be a fault at all and I am just being overly sensitive?
