Jacques & Francois Lurton - Perfect Pinot - 2003 
The label claims: "Intense and velvety, this "Perfect" Pinot Noir is loaded with forward fruit with uderlying spicy flavour and complexity"
The only thing perfect about this pinot, is that it is a perfectly awful bottle of wine.
FreshDirect had it for $12 - I'm always on the lookout for a budget Pinot, and this fit the bill, so I picked it up.
Big mistake.
Out of the bottle, it smelled like a pinot, and it has a brief familiar aftertaste of Pinot after it left my palate.
But every sip tasted like it came out of a 2L magnum that cost $5 - it tasted like a generic, non-varietal, french table wine.
Not worth $12, maybe worth $5.
