Community Tasting Note

Thursday, June 30, 2022 - Either this is an off bottle, or it didn’t live up to the hype. There was plenty of red fruit, but the wine lacked in body. The first several hours also featured a prominent vanilla note. Later, the acidity seemed to take over.

Personally, I'm betting that my bottle will make me happy in ~4-5 years from now.

If you want to spend lots of money, there are still some other B's to dig into: Burgundy, Bordeaux and Bhampagne ;-)
Cheers!
