Drank at Octagon along 2008 Dominus - pallet of current, red fruit, and cherry. Pallet of current, green leaves, and red fruit, and Spanish cedar. The green leaves give it a desirable taste but yet undesirable at the same time. Drink over next year or two. Good wine but not great. I don’t see the same characteristics as the last bottle I had. 90 points.

I had bought this as a Power Buy at the NH Liquor store and didn't record it in my inventory but was very impressed tonight as it had a nice showing. Sometimes a "simple" Merlot is way more satisfying than some of the expensive duds I have had over the years. This wine had an interesting nose of dried berries, a smooth velvet mouthfeel and a pleasant finish.

Tasted at ONIC tasting. Very reminiscent of Vieux Telegraphe. Strawberry and soft fruit on the nose. These same characteristics of strawberry, and light red fruit are bursting on the pallet. Very soft, elegant, and supple. 93+ points.

Enjoyed with steak and grilled veg. Nicely balanced, medium-full bodied, nice nose. Solid QPR, would buy again.
