The 18’s arrived so we uncorked The Bard. Simply delicious.

Not as good as previous vintages. A bit of over the top

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.

Ok I just think the Tempest is a bit more refined but that was questioned/debated. I stand by my assessment. Magnum
