Kamil is trying to convince me that Saint Laurent CAN be good wine but he wasnt successful at this. According to me, the bouquet is close to Czech "okurky" - sour pickles with mustard seeds and dill and the taste is pretty poor. He calls me "spoiled drinker"....
To be fair, I could never really adapt to "strong bottle tones". I relate this to the smell of wine beyong its peak. Anyway, worth trying I guess!
