August 6, 2023 - PNP - dark red, nearly black color. On nose, dark fruit (blackberry, sweet cherry), green bell pepper and tobacco. Palate had similar flavor profile. Medium body/acidity / tannins. Can tell from warm Bordeaux vintage - very enjoyable wine and excellent QPR. 91-92 range.
Need to rebuy more current vintages.
September 21, 2020 - rich and full body and aroma, mellow soft entry with graceful refined body. Balanced.
June 7, 2020 - Delayed note; tasted young for potential cellar purchase. A surprisingly well-integrated St. Emilion at this price point; not as complex and rewarding as higher-end options, but a solid drinker and well worth its price. Some fascinating history behind this producer, even dating back to Roman Empire days. Purchased a few for the cellar and looking forward to trying it again in a few years.
October 29, 2019 - Delicious wine! Layers of soft tannins and fruit. Graphite, dark cherry. Well balanced, terrific QPR.
November 24, 2018 - Currants, graphite, slight floral/herbacious notes. Long finish. Good food wine.
August 12, 2018 - Enjoyed at the wine tasting and at home
August 9, 2018 - cheers - just ok for me....lots of competition in the $20-30 price range for 2015 bordeaux, and this one isn't standing out. I decanted as others advised, tasting just after open and 2 hours later...very tannic, not sure the balance will straighten out with time
June 23, 2018 - Good, solid Bordeaux. Definitely better on the second night. Hold.
May 12, 2018 - Opened one hour before drinking (no formal decant). Deep ruby/maroon color. Maraschino cherry, crisco, coffee grounds and blueberry on the nose. Smooth, dry palate with nice acidity. Full, round tannins on the medium long finish. This is very nice, but drank a little tight. One or two hour decant would do wonders. Great QPR.
February 10, 2018 - Dark ruby colour in the glass. Pleasant on the nose with some red and dark fruits, like cherries and dried strawberries. On the palate medium bodied with good concentration, a little jammy. Soft tannins, nice acidity and medium finish. Very pleasant wine.
