Well tonight was my every 3 week card game and maybe it was my poor play or maybe it was something else, but I really did not like today's reviewed wine. The 2006 Black Opal Chardonnay from Australia exhibited light golden color in the glass but the nose was non-existent. I tried to pick something up when it was first uncorked and was unsuccessful. I let it warm a little in the glass, for about 15 minutes or so, but whatever fruit it had was not showing up. I finally gave this one a taste and was treated to a bland, thin tasting wine with too much acidity and a burning finish. I only paid $6.15/bottle for this one so it was no huge loss. Based on lack of any taste I gave this one 2 Corkscrews. I can't recommend it and won't buy it in the future. It wasn't "pour it down the sink" bad, it just had nothing notable about it.
