Versatile and thoroughly enjoyable, lovely with bolognese. Nothing especially notable but it’s still young. Excellent QPR.

Drinking beautifully now. Versatile without sacrificing depth. Earthier and heartier than some of the leading but thinner Willamette Pinots.

Drinking very well still. The timing is right to drink the last now but I still wish I had more.

Insane QPR.

Marionberry, black pepper, blackberry… meaty Shiraz. Great with very carrot-y beef stew tonight, pnp.

Maybe past it’s prime but enjoyable. Deep, dark cherry, earthy, like rich northern forest mud. Wouldn’t buy again, but wouldn’t not.

Lighter and more herbal this time. I let it breathe for about 6 hours, then paired with a beef stew. Great combination. Not a stunning wine but very enjoyable.

Meaty, hearty. Good for pizza or bolognese.
Might get smoother with time, but might not. I’m inclined to have the rest of my bottles soon and move on.

Drink now or never. First night good, second night metallic. [Just looked at my previous notes. Exactly the same: first night is a great pop-and-pour experience, then lousy second night.]

Exceptional QPR. Pop and pour. Plum/prune, tobacco, a little cola. Not entirely versatile though. Great with meats, not nearly as good with eggs, and soft rich cheese pairings could be challenging.

Drinking well now but should have a few very good years ahead.

So, so, so good. Velvety dark berry, leather, maybe a touch of chickory(?). Perfect for red meat, grilled chicken, root vegetables — anything richly flavorful. The only problem is that 15% ABV means I can’t drink this all night.

Perfect right now.

2015 Château de l'Isle Fort

Bordeaux Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend more

10/2/2022 - robmillis Likes this wine: 91 points

Hearty but smooth. Equally wonderful with beef stew the first night and bolognese the second night. Be sure to filter the sediment though.

Tobacco, oak, fresh soil, fruit stems… Imagine you made leather from strips of Douglas Fir bark, then soaked it in a stew of cherry stems and blackberry vines, then expressed that into a vat of soft table wine.

Loving this now, and it won’t get better with age at this point. Better than the 2016, and holds up more nicely on the second day.

Great both with and in beef stew tonight. Rich, dark, lots of sediment, hearty but smooth.

Smooth, fulfilling, very versatile. Incredible QPR.
Like berry-soaked leather-tobacco velour robe for the tongue. Pop and pour, first night is best.
