Thursday, June 9, 2022 - Party with some 100 pointers: Aromas of blueberry feta cheese water topped with pickled chocolate syrup and sheepdog left outside in a hurricane. On the palate, gross.
6/10/2022 3:04:00 PM - Is there a difference between a sheepdog in a hurricane and a sheepdog in a regular old thunderstorm? Great review, and I hope it was an off bottle.
6/10/2022 3:17:00 PM - Good point. I sensed more of a hurricane pattern with this bottle; so I went with that. I thought it could have been a Great Pyrenees, but I settled on Sheepdog.
Ya I hope to god it was corked. If it wasn't, then I dunno what Jim Binns is doing behind those cellar doors. I mean, I've had some wack Andremily before due to over-extraction, over-ripeness, and over-toasted oak, but this was next level goofy.
