Bootleg 'Prequel' Red 2016 Review
There is so much alcohol in this wine that there is zero nuance. The profile is basically sweet, big and hot. There is a smoothness to the wine, but it’s fleeting when the heat of the alcohol kicks in. This is a great bottle for BBQ and burgers. But please hydrate this one will sneak up on you and you’ll get a sunburn.
