2019 Envinate Benje Ycoden Daute Isora Listán Prieto
Tight and sour on first opening, so we recorked it and set it aside for the next night when it showed well enough to pair with grilled proscuitto-wrapped halibut, the acidity in this case an asset. Fruit at this point like a lesser bourgogne. All fine but the wine in bottle turned cloudy halfway or so through, and the flavor turned as well, became undrinkable. Disappointing. Drink up.

I've had a few Envinate wines, and they've been beguiling. This is the first disappointment. I have three more other bottlings including the top, Migan or Miguan, something like that, which I still look forward to.

Turned cloudy? That's bizarre.

That has happened to me twice before, both times with pinot noirs.
