March 28, 2022 - I don't know if it was my bottle or just the wine, but it smelled and tasted like my teenage son's soaked, stinky soccer socks. I could not get past that. I'm sorry.

I love that stuff in a wine, so I really liked this bottle of Limnio. Totally get the funk and brett is love or hate, and possibility for bottle variation on that particular note where it can be either amplified or dialed down.
