Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 1, 2022 - Bordeaux tasting - with a few pirates: I just could not get a feel for this wine at all. I wouldn’t even know how to score it. It really just offered next to nothing in the fruit department and was overly linear and strict. It wasn’t abrasive by any means, but it just never woke up. Whether it is dead forever or in some catatonic state, there was no budging here.
