Community Tasting Note

ikkaariainen Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 5, 2022 - A very reasonable, pleasant and now nicely maturing entry level L bank merlot-dominant Haut-Medoc by a very interesting and knowledgeable winemaker with a strong scientific bent towards research on the intersection of the vines, terroir and insect population on his property - great visit there and bottle bought on site. Good QPR wine at our on-site aqcuisition price. Sipping beautifully right now and this was also put in as the red wine into a pot of Croatian high country Slavonian Cobanac meat stew. Drink or hold - very approachable and drinkable right now but has a good at least 5-10 years left with proper cellaring. Well balanced, medium bodied with a medium length aftertaste. Dark fruit forward nose with a pleasant somewhat simplistic merlit-dominant flavor profile of oak, cassis and dark plum with more strawberry and mocha on the mid-late palate. Recommend for what it is and with further maturation expect a likely 1 point score improvement.
