7.5

I don’t get it. Bought three bottles of the 2010. Read the rave reviews. Threw out the first bottle as spoiled. Bad luck I thought. Opened the second a few weeks later. Drinkable but bad. Acidic and astringent. A 7.5 is generous. Buyer beware I guess. This one did not travel well — 5 years ago

A surprise and not necessarily a good one. Cidery. Not my cup of tea — 8 years ago
