Tried this wine last night:
1. PinoRoman Skin-Contact Semillon Amber Wine D.O. Itata (12%; LlauradorWines/Fairfax/CA; Jose Pastor Slctns) 2022: deep amber/burnished bronze color; some tiny bubbles; very dusty/earthy/loamy rather ViniMacerati/phenolic/fairly resinous very slight figgy/Semillon fruit some mousey/natty rather unattractive nose; rather tart/tangy quite sour some VM/phenolic/rather resinous some natty/unclean somewhat bitter/tannic flavor; med.long natty/mousey finish follows the flavor; a quite unattractive white that the VM probably can't save; another badly flawed Llaurador wine. $19.50 (KK)

More igglefurt from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. This was not nearly so natty/mousey as the PinoRoman Amber of several days ago. Still, that natty character was fairly evident. After standing open overnight on the counter, it had lost much of the natty/mousey character but was still predominately VM/phenolic in character & still pretty much undrinkable.
When you see the Llaurador/JosePastor label on the wine, buy w/ caution & low expectations.
