February 10, 2017 - It is remarkable that an 11+ year-old wine at this price point it still drinking this decently, even though there's not much to get excited about. The color is a medium (+) tawny-brown. It appears to be unfiltered. The nose is medium (+) in intensity, and tertiary, with aromas of compost, cured meat, tar, balsamic, medicinal herbs. The palate is dry, with medium acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol (14.1%). The palate is a little less developed than the nose, with red and black fruit, tea, tobacco and cedar. This actually drank much better a full week after being opened and vacuum-vined. Pretty interesting for a wine at this price point.

January 29, 2012 - Couleur opaque d'un vin encore jeune. Gras avec un nez exubérant la prune et les fruits noirs. La bouche est fidèle au nez. La matiere tannique est fondue. Peut certainement attendre encore quelques (1-2) années.

September 16, 2011 - Dense, dark, rich colour with a touch of browning on the edges. Lots of dark cherry with the usual characteristics of cabernet. Happy I have stored this as long as I have. Could be stored even longer, say, a year, but ready now. I give it 86.

May 5, 2009 - Yet another bottle that does not disapoint. Same dark fruit with hints of muted earth. More noticeable than the earth this time were the vegetal notes. Great QPR at $9-12.
