Nice way to revive a thread on life support.

We had a bottle of The Bard (2017) from Realm Cellars on Sunday and I didn’t even think of posting. It was very good, but I think it will be better in a couple of years.

Recently had 2 defective bottles of Valdicava Brunello (2010), which was sad because no one likes bad bottles and this was one of my favorites. The vendor gave us a credit for the third (still unopened) bottle even though I bought it 2 years ago. Nice show of goodwill by them given the elapsed time, but I am quite certain it was bad when received as it has been temp controlled since arrival.
