I was visiting Suzhou recently and went to Carrefour to buy a bottle of wine. I selected a Bin 18 Shiraz 2009 from James winery South Australia. The price was about just 70 rmb but I expected it to have some taste. Upon opening it, I detected no whiff of anything resembling Shiraz. Upon tasting it, I found no taste of Shiraz. It tasted flat and unpleasant. The wine was either very well past its best, or not what it said on the bottle. As I was staying close by, I returned to the store to declare it spoilt and undrinkable. To their credit, they allowed me to select a replacement.. I selected a Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 from James Romaunt, Also Australian. when I brought it home and opened it, I had the same experience as the previous wine. No taste of Cabernet Sauvignon at all. Very little bouquet. Unbelievable. In fact, it tasted very similar to the first one. The taste was like a very bad cheap Chinese wine. Flat and unpleasant. I have never met a situation where a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Shiraz could taste the same, nor where they would taste like a very cheap, no grape specified, Chinese red. It could be that they were both well past their drink-by date, in which case, why is Carrefour stocking them. the other possbility, based on taste, is that they are not what they say on the label. I have been in China long enough to suspect the latter. Either way, I wont be buying any wine ever again in Suzhou Carrefour. Let the buyer beware.
