3/25/2024 - classicalspin Likes this wine: 90 points90-91 Seriously good stuff and a great value. Decanted and immediately poured, features sweet, plumb fruits of dark berries and plumbs backed by a spine of iron and a bit of a pepper on the finish. The second day, left in the carafe at 60 degrees it was even better, taking on a luscious texture and knit to together nicely. A bit short on length otherwise it would rate even higher. No real flaws with this one. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

3/21/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 90 pointsEspresso, flowers cocoa and black plums with a touch of spice open the nose. The wine is juicy, and flavorful, offering a big blast of chewy. dark, red fruits, cocoa and espresso on the mid-palate and in the spicy, fresh finish. The wine is interesting as you often find as much as 50% of the blend devoted to old vine Petit Verdot along with Merlot. Drink from 2023-2038. |

11/12/2022 - ChairmanKao Likes this wine: 97 pointsABV: 14.0%. 40% Merlot, 35% Petit Verdot, and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Gorgeous nose of violets, white pepper, pencil shavings, and graphite mixed with boysenberries, blackberries, and black plums. On the palate, the tanins are soft and the wine's kept intact by the well-integrated acidity, elevating the fruit tones. The super lengthy finish (at least a minute long) ends with a cola-like flavor profile. If you're planning to open a bottle soon, be sure to decant it for at least a hour. This wine can easily cellar for at least another decade. |

6/30/2022 - Julian Marshall Likes this wine: 90 pointsNot bad at all - an interesting nose, a combination of quite ripe, deep, fruity aromas - blackcurrants and raspberries mainly, but also some Asian spice, a bit of game, some leather and even a hint of hazlenut. The attack is much less rich than expected, quite a classic blend of blackcurrant and plum, with again some savoury flavours, this time a little meatiness and quite a subtle but persistent wave of spices. The middle section broadens out into something fruitier, with velvety plum dominating some dark cherry, before the blackcurrant comes back on the quite tannic finish. |

3/29/2022 - Jeff Leve wrote: 91 pointsDark, deep and powerful, this unique blend of roughly 40% Merlot and close to 60% old vine Petit Verdot is packed with dark chocolate, flowers, black, red and blue fruits along with earthy nuances. On the palate, the wine is lush, fresh and salty. Bold and richly textured, give this just few years in the cellar before pulling a cork. Drink from 2022-2031. |

11/7/2021 - FransS wrote: 90 pointsHenri Bloem tasting, Bloemendaal, november 7: value for your money, classic (Bolaire itself and the vintage), so this wine needs some hours of aeration and than it gives a dark Petit Verdot colour, a flowery (close to Margaux) and black fruit bouquet, juicy, bit severe, lovely bitters and a balanced aftertaste (you can't miss the load of ripe tannins); will become even better. |

7/10/2021 - Psdycp wrote: 91 pointsThe first thing that hit you is the leathery and herbaceous nose with red plums in the undertones. The same aromatic traits flowed to the palate. Good density, just a touch of barnyard and red fruit in the medium-bodied palate. May not be a popular choice for many but the unique character is a welcomed diversity to the wine community. |

7/5/2021 - Dithiolium Likes this wine: 88 pointsDark red brick. Soft merlot fruit nose. Ripe plums, licorice, stewed red fruit, toast, cedar, cigar box, soft spice. Tight tannins at the start, softens down in 30min, rounded palate, firm acidity. Pleasant and easy wine. |

5/20/2021 - Jeff Leve wrote: 90 pointsDark in color, the wine shows black, red and blue fruits with a cool spiciness. Juicy, chewy, full-bodied, deep and round, with a peppery core of savory fruit on the palate and finish. Give this a few years in the bottle to develop more complexity. The wine is interesting as you often find as much as 50% of the blend devoted to old vines Petit Verdot along with Merlot. 89-91 |

3/21/2021 - nhericks Likes this wine: 90 pointsI had it end of 2017 and rated it 89 back then and had it several times since. It was good at that time and I did not know if it would improve or not. I think it did. It became a standard over the years in my cellar and I have 16 left and I am positive that the last bottle will be emptied still at it's top. |
