WTN: 0 for 2...with bonus points just for fun

[David M. Bueker]

2005 Zind-Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Wintzenheim - France, Alsace, Wintzenheim, Alsace AOC (4/6/2010)
Decent Gewurztraminer aromatic typicity, but little else of interest. The mid-palate is watery, the finish alcoholic and overall it's just not at all satisfying. Meh. (79 pts.)

2005 Domaine Le Colombier Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Vacqueyras (4/6/2010)
This is going nowhere fast. The fruit is faded, the alcohol is coming to the front & there's nothing else there. What a waste of cellar space. (73 pts.)

Ouch, that ZH sounds very different from the one I opened a few months back (which certainly was nothing close to watery in the mouth).

Third time lucky perhaps?

If we were being diplomatic, we would just call these 'shut down'.
