Community Tasting Note

  • Bordeaux 2013 wrote: flawed

    April 9, 2018 - This was very disappointing given the excellent reviews from others. The wine didn‘t offer much flavours and in adition the acidity seemed too low to balance the heavy sweetness. Hope it was only this bottle (375ml) and that the others will be better. Anyone else who has experienced the same?
