Spanish wine Bodega Langa Pi 3.14... 2011

Spanish wine Bodega Langa Pi 3.14... 2011 **

Smells like cheap 5E salento primotivo, tasted like overly jammy zinfandel without the spice. On top of that nauseating jam, vanilla custard. It is made from a strange grape called Consejon. I think it must be in family with primotivo/zinfandel.

My wife liked it as an aperitif.

If I didnt have leftover Quarterback to have with dinner, I'd rather have the vintage port I had opened for dessert with the food.

Good thing I got it on sale for 12E, down from 20E.

How can a 12E wine that tastes like 5E Salento Primitivo be a good thing.

When you reach a certain point in your wine drinking story... it is more about the alcohol you put through your liver or the pleasure you get than about the price of a 12E bottle of wine.

Overly Jammy Zinfandel without the spice (...) vanilla custard... looks like a wine I would not like to drink. Even at 1E it would be a bad purchase.

It didnt taste like one, it smelled like one.

It is a good thing I got it on sale, and didnt waste 20E on it.

That's why I started not drinking wine when I'm out for dinners with others or banquets that I dont like. It can be awkward at a banquet when you sit next to the person who selected the wines, though. Happened to me haha.

I just put it in the fridge as a cooking wine, so its not all wasted.
