Last bottle, what an awesome value. This is loaded with Provençal herbs and spices and black and purple fruits along with spring flowers. Perfectly balanced and mature. Drink now-2022. 93

Another lovely bottle of Pesquié with notes of blackberries, bramble, garrique, maybe a little mint, some chocolate notes too. At a perfect place for current drinking.

Drinking very well right now. Rich fruit profile with a smooth silky texture. Paired very well with a roast leg of lamb. Tastes like a new world Rhone blend even though its from Ventoux. Drink over the next 2-3 years.

Going from memory last evening combined with having several wines, this wine was a hit with everyone. Nice dark red fruits combined with a hint of mint, which I don't usually find in the southern Rhone. Maybe because it is primarily Syrah.

2010 Quintessence has a fine balance with flavors of crushed autumn leaves, shrimp shell, low sodium soy sauce, blackberries, rainforest, and ashes. It is quite dry. Finish is a tad light and does not match the level of the wine's complexity. 15% alc.

Deep purple in glass. Muted nose. Elegant mouthfeel, with restrained black fruit. Medium acidity. Everything is just in balance, and this matches terrifically with savory poultry dishes. A lovely wine.

Clear dark ruby with the legs quick to form and staining. Nose is clean rich ripe dark berry with only a subtle hint of oak. The palate is lush in the mouth and rich like the nose. Med acidity, Med tannin, Med + body. Developing to mature and wonderful now. a hint of overly extracted

This is a big boy, made from 80% Syrah & 20% Grenache. Strong, dark and formidable. Holds its own, esp after only having paid $10 bucks for it. Good find and recco!
Lousy, wet cork. Figured it was garbage. Surprisingly not corked. Big fruity full bodied wine. 90+ as I had it, but may be a bit better if the cork effected my bottle just a bit.

Very dark in the glass with a moderate perfume nose. This medium bodied wine has a very smoky meaty flavor to it along with plum flavors. A good purchase.
Bold, currants, chewy tannins. Pretty good but seemed slightly out of balance. High alcohol presence. Probably could benefit from a few years in the cellar.

Dense and chewy with dark fruit, black coffee, burnt tannins and rubber. Fine long tannic finish with some dried herbs and a bit of baking spices. Has a suave, classy, modern overall feel but not sweet, international or anonymous. Needs a few years in bottle IMO and will evolve for 10 years. Very nice and worth the price. B

Intens, næsten tyk vin der bare smager virkeligt godt. Masser af frugt og noter af både lakrids og chokolade.

Mellowing nicely, but Pesquie wines never seem to live up to their ratings, for me.

An excellent QPR Rhone blend. The primarily Syrah fruit played very well with the BBQ sauce on smoked brisket.

What happened here. After two lacklustre performances, this is now shining. Fruity nose, balanced on the palace with fruit and rounded tannins. Great!

Wine is very good, however, I am not lover of such style. Too alcoholic and dense for me. A monster of wine. Sorry, if it sounded harsh...

Hennepin Lake's Annual Tasting (Tons of Napa Cabs); 10/30/2013-11/2/2013: Nice wine with floral, mushrooms, spices and red currants. Short to medium finish but lacks acidity.
