Introduction
This was the walk around tasting for the UGCB 2022 release. These notes are strictly for my own records and benefit. The scale is relative to the other wines. The higher the score, the more the wine stood out in comparison to the others. This was the hottest vintage on record. Wines from Saint Julien and Pauillac stood out from the pack.
