Bordeaux like this 2000! Soft plush tannin, really good fruit expression, surprisingly really good with Andrew from Hently Farms! Shawn Dore and Karen B

Couldn't get past the Bret...mushrooms and stank that never blew off. I wanted to love it but I didn't

Took about 45 minutes to open up and become expressive- ripe red currant, mulberry and black raspberry, with a note of dried herbs and portobello mushrooms.
