Unrelentingly tart and tannic and devoid of any pleasure.<br /><br />A vintage so bad globally that Robert Parker doesn't even list it in his vintage chart:<br /><br />https://Bob Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02089688073031173053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210235767643862872.post-58589852151687485462016-11-23T23:00:29.128-08:002016-11-23T23:00:29.128-08:00Guren,
