Sorry, but a urine-colored wine is never that attractive. I rarely say that the look of a wine alters the way I feel about it, but this is one of those special, er, not so special cases. Otherwise, the wine certainly wasn't bad, with the flavor profile of a low grade non-vintage Champagne. Slatey and yeasty, with candied fruit flavors up front, green apple and Meyer lemon mid-palate, and a smoke and toast finish.
