| | Tasted by GregersJ on 10/15/2021: Intens, næsten tyk vin der bare smager virkeligt godt. Masser af frugt og noter af både lakrids og chokolade. (1109 views) |
| | Tasted by redz on 6/25/2020 & rated 90 points: Mellowing nicely, but Pesquie wines never seem to live up to their ratings, for me. (1497 views) |
| | Tasted by WineGuyX on 4/2/2020 & rated 93 points: Last bottle, what an awesome value. This is loaded with Provençal herbs and spices and black and purple fruits along with spring flowers. Perfectly balanced and mature. Drink now-2022. 93 (1638 views) |

| | Tasted by GRoz on 2/6/2016 & rated 90 points: Drinking very well right now. Rich fruit profile with a smooth silky texture. Paired very well with a roast leg of lamb. Tastes like a new world Rhone blend even though its from Ventoux. Drink over the next 2-3 years. (1867 views) |
| | Tasted by JM_MadTown on 12/26/2015 & rated 90 points: Going from memory last evening combined with having several wines, this wine was a hit with everyone. Nice dark red fruits combined with a hint of mint, which I don't usually find in the southern Rhone. Maybe because it is primarily Syrah. (1511 views) |
| | Tasted by Number51 on 3/28/2015 & rated 90 points: 2010 Quintessence has a fine balance with flavors of crushed autumn leaves, shrimp shell, low sodium soy sauce, blackberries, rainforest, and ashes. It is quite dry. Finish is a tad light and does not match the level of the wine's complexity. 15% alc. (2010 views) |
| | Tasted by Bob in NC on 12/21/2014 & rated 88 points: An excellent QPR Rhone blend. The primarily Syrah fruit played very well with the BBQ sauce on smoked brisket. (2327 views) |
| | Tasted by Neras on 11/2/2014 & rated 93 points: What happened here. After two lacklustre performances, this is now shining. Fruity nose, balanced on the palace with fruit and rounded tannins. Great! (2536 views) |
| | Tasted by RussK on 10/8/2014 & rated 91 points: Russk CDC. Liked more than I would expect. Complex nose of perfume and coriander. Smell of syrah, but jot young syrah. Full bodied. 91- (2506 views) |
| | Tasted by G.O. on 5/20/2014 & rated 89 points: Wine is very good, however, I am not lover of such style. Too alcoholic and dense for me. A monster of wine. Sorry, if it sounded harsh... (3000 views) |
| | Tasted by sqn19 on 3/4/2014 & rated 90 points: Deep purple in glass. Muted nose. Elegant mouthfeel, with restrained black fruit. Medium acidity. Everything is just in balance, and this matches terrifically with savory poultry dishes. A lovely wine. (3016 views) |
| | Tasted by Cellar Hand on 1/17/2014 & rated 88 points: Clear dark ruby with the legs quick to form and staining. Nose is clean rich ripe dark berry with only a subtle hint of oak. The palate is lush in the mouth and rich like the nose. Med acidity, Med tannin, Med + body. Developing to mature and wonderful now. a hint of overly extracted (2704 views) |
