On the palate, there are cassis with tart red berries and plums, complimented by spicy black peppers and bits of dark green herbs. Medium bodied with a medium+ finish; acidity is noticed. Opened for the final episode of "Better Call Saul"(unfortunately, I do not have a Cote Rotie to drink unlike Gus Fring). |

2/20/2021 - AMC Eagle wrote: 91 pointsSlow ox'ed for over an hour. Medium+ garnet in colour; there are blackberries with some candied dark fruits and wet tobacco with a touch of rubbing alcohol on the nose. On the palate there are good concentration of more blackberries with some dark chewing tobacco and hints of graphite; acidity is detectable along with its alcohol; tannins are evident. Medium+ bodied with a medium finish. Could use another year or two in the cellar -- community drinking window looks to be accurate. Very good qpr if you got this from garagiste.

8/4/2019 - AMC Eagle wrote: 91 pointsPnp; has a deep ruby-purple in colour. Nose of sweet blackberry and blueberry jam and violets. Getting stewed plums and blackberries along with some cassis and black peppers where some espresso is noticed at the end. Medium bodied with a medium finish. Since the wine store I frequently visit just got this recently, I would like to think that this would be an amalgam of more recent vintages('15? '16? '17?).

3/12/2017 - AMC Eagle wrote: 92 points4 hour decant. Dark garnet in appearance; nose of cherry cola with some hints of spiced blackberry paste. On the palate, there are dark plums with some blackberries and cassis; hints of dark cocoa. Front palate tanins slowly dissipate with some time. Medium bodied with a medium finish; more layers of this wine is revealing itself as time goes on. Last tasted on Dec 2015.

2/8/2015 - AMC Eagle wrote: 89 pointsOne hour decant and poured through a vinturri. Medium-dark ruby-garnet in appearance. Crushed rosemary, red and black cherries and cherry pits on the nose; has a bit of that barnyard funk as well that hovers around it. Palate's getting some buttery unripe raspberries, black peppers, green herbs and touches of white fruits like unripe pears or so; also am getting some of the sweet and sour candy profile as well with some hot tartiness with its medium finish; makes me wonder if there is some marsanne or roussane with this. This is drinking well right now, don't think this will develop anymore.

8/30/2015 - AMC Eagle wrote: 91 points30 minute decant; appearance of medium ruby-garnet in the glass. Has a nose of spicy raspberries and red cherries with a hint of pomegranates and more dusty red fruits as well. On the palate, I am detecting some leathery strawberry shortcake, if that makes sense; also some hints of brambly ripe red fruits. Tannins are concentrated and tight. Medium bodied with a medium finish.

5/9/2015 - AMC Eagle wrote: 90 pointsVinturied into a decanter and let sit for 90 minutes; poured using the vinturi. Light-medium garnet-ruby in colour; nose of very dark red fruits and some cassis with some black cherries and anise; can kinda smell the heat. The palate's getting loads of black fruits, black licorice, and some dark herbs; tannic up front and hot at the end; medium bodied with a short-medium finish. Lay this one down for a few more years before trying again.

1/11/2014 - AMC Eagle wrote: 90 pointsPnp. Black cherries and some vanilla on the nose; dark red fruits with some tobacco on the palate though not that prevalent. Medium bodied with a medium finish; has a very good balance to it. Me thinks this has a few more years of life to it.

5/24/2013 - AMC Eagle wrote: 91 pointsGarnet coloured in the glass; getting ripe crushed cherries and blueberries on the nose. The palate is very friendly with some more red and blue fruits along with some hints of coffee. Smooth and the tannins are just about non-existent. Drinking very well as it is.

2/25/2013 - AMC Eagle wrote: 92 points30 minute decant and poured through a vinturri. Dark ruby-esque in colour. Getting some blackberries, cherries, and some licorice on the nose. The palate is getting some more black berries, black cherry licorice, with some black peppers and dark tobacco; concentrated and focused. Tannins are coarse but they're not all over the place. Medium bodied with a medium finish. This is supposedly a dead ringer for a CdP and I can kinda see that from my limited experience. Plenty of wine for the money on this one.
