Community Tasting Notes 108

  December 20, 2023 - Decanted 45 minutes before service. In the glass, youthful, opaque, nearly-black purple. On the nose, currants, violets, and a secondary note of potpourri. On the palate, smooth initially, leading with more currants and plums, shifting to less fruit-forward notes and minerality, before the tannins gently settle in to deliver structure and an almost-mouth-puckering finish. For a good-vintage Bordeaux, this is probably as close to a QPR buy as you're likely to get.

  December 5, 2023 - Decanted for one hour, perhaps it needs 1,5 or 2. At its peak right now, with more secondary than primary notes. Slight tertiary notes but in this kind of wines not made for the long haul it’s always challenging to find good tertiary aromas. A good PQR specially with food, not too complex and a bit short on finish but that s natural given the level of the wine. Drink up as it s hard to see improvement from here and perhaps in 2 or 3 years will start going downhill, so why take chances if you still have enough lifespan to enjoy it. In any case much better purchase than second labels of great names of pomerol or st Emilion which are at the same quality level and comparable flavor profile but cost twice - thrice as much.

  November 3, 2023 - Drank over 2 days. No gas or pump down. Delish. Pound for pound delicious QPR rightbank Bordeaux. Fantastic with Autumn beef short ribs

  November 7, 2022 - In my opinion many years of life ahead. Nice fat wine, but unfortunately my last bottle.

  October 7, 2022 - Bottle variation? This one seemed to carry a slight medicinalness on the palate.
