i can't believe I didn't like this wine, for no reason other than it is the only B&H wine that I can say that on first sip i was a miss. I agree with the other reviews here rather than RP's 96. Maybe I waited to long? Bad bottle? No it was just not my thang. Very Port like and not a drinker at all. I would not say it was necessarily badly made it was well constructed and not flawed or stewed. It just didn't taste like an aged Franc to me. The good thing was that I had others at the tasting that could not get enough of it. Go Figure. Not a Vitis Maximus wine that's for sure.

B I G blast of turpentine/nail polish on the nose. Didn't want to, but I took a sip anyway: just awful, made me spit it out immediately. Easily the worst B&H to date. Spectacularly horrible. Flawed? Didn't taste like it, just tasted like a bad wine.

Dominated by alcohol - too bad. Maybe it's okay if you spit it...
