This is so good. Interestingly enough, the server came over after opening and said it was flawed - did I want to try it and see? Uh yeah. It was fine/great. Does it have a powerful nose. Yeah. But flawed. No. No way. — 3 days ago

That’s weird. Did the server tell you what they thought (incorrectly) was wrong with it ?

@Tom Casagrande so weird. I had just had the same wine a couple weeks back so I just said - hmm, yeah let me try it. I’m not sure why one would say that, given it’s a bottle I brought. I have had a server say with some browning on the rim - “looks like it’s on the edge, what do you think?” Not sure I get, opening it off to the side, coming back saying it’s flawed and then asking me what I want to do… Of course one is going to want to see and try it. If it’s the restaurants bottle, sure test and get a new one if you think it’s flawed before presenting. On my bottle? Don’t you have to present it…. Big nose? Huge. Possible they have never had Grenache?
