Community Tasting Note

  • jeagle Does not like this wine:

    July 18, 2019 - Decanted for an hour then consumed over three days. There certainly is wine to meet every taste, but this bottle is apparently in direct opposition to mine. To me, it was post-apocalyptic in style, a dry tannic terrain with listless fruit.

    7/18/19, 5:02 PM - Yup, I inferred that much. And to each his (or her) own! But I can’t help but wonder if this was a bad bottle — as noted by others, LdeH is known for some variation. (PS, looking back, I meant to type, “in this context.” I’ll also venture to say we can probably all agree that we prefer to avoid apocalyptic experiences — figurative or real.)
