Community Tasting Note

87 Points

Thursday, December 4, 2014 - Decent spoof I suppose, but spoofy nonetheless. Extremely ripe blueberry fruit, verging on overripe, with a lot of vanilla and chocolate. Plenty of glossy extract with a lot of oak tannin, but it's not thick and heavy, there's good acidity so it's not too sweet, and the alcohol is under control. This is decent modern wine but besides the flavor profile being too ripe for my taste there isn't anything here to suggest Graves, let alone Haut Brion. It could come from anywhere. Horrible QPR, there are a million new world wines that accomplish the same thing at a fraction of the price.
