Tasting - Mt. Monster

Name: Mt. Monster
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Limestone Coast
Country: Australia
Year: 2014
Price: $14

Shop review: "Deep purple in color. Classic aromas of lifted blackcurrant, blackberry and mint on the nose. Flavors follow through of sweet berry-fruit accented by fresh muddled mint. Elegant, structured palate with big velvety tannins."

My review: First impression of this wine was not great, because it smells like Windex - and I know it's not just my weird nose this time because other people at the tasting were saying it smells like cleaning supplies (one person even had the balls to say "this might be going bad"). Leave it to Australia, the land of insane deadly creatures, to make a wine that smells like you're being poisoned. Flavor is tannic, spicy, peppery, with a finish that's initially dry, then turns sour, then becomes dry again. Nah man.

I tasted this wine without food.
