With Hart, Ben, Sean and Tabs.

ARGHAGAHEGEGAH. Background: Hart, Sean, Tabs and I drank the 1990 at the fruit of the vine earlier in the year and wow. It was aromatic. Energetic. Complex. Truly delicious. Months later, Sean bought the 1995. I did too given it was Hart’s birth year. Ben gifted me one.

So, you can imagine, we had high hopes.

Popped Sean’s bottle. Straight up wet cardboard. Gross.
Got annoyed. Opened one from my fridge. Much less offensive on the nose, but it was similarly just flat with not much nose to speak of.

So annoying.
