Good nose … no boogies — 3 years ago
So many peeps enjoyed the visual of our cellar, thought I’d give you the side shot.
Coming direct from the winery, this Bard is so consistent with prior vintages, and the presentation is rock solid. So much depth on the nose and palate. 2012 vintage is still primo, but this vintage is knocking at the door and wants to join the party. — 5 years ago
