Community Tasting Note

    August 7, 2022 - 4 great wines with friends:

    - 2019 Myridad Empyrean (97)
    - 2016 Kinsella Heirloom (96)
    - 2018 Kamen (95)
    - 2018 Lewis (95)

    I love everything about this wine. Right in my wheelhouse. Unfortunately my last of this vintage. Signature TRB style here.

    8/11/22, 5:33 PM - From my limited experience with the 2019 vintage so far, I thought they were drinking quite well really early and kind of shutdown. However, I love how they are drinking on day two and three but I can’t speak for the 2019 Empyrean. Take care.
