Aerated into decanter 2 hours before tasting event then returned to bottle. Very nice nose of ripe plums/ lavender/cigar box. Smooth on the palate after resting in decanter and during tasting event. A pretty good QPR at $15 delivered.

Similar to previous notes. A good but not great St. Emilion served with grilled flat iron steak last night. Did not decant. Initial nose of cassis, cedar, blackberry and spices, a bit short in the mid-range, and some tannins and a bit of bitterness in the finish. The bitterness diminished after an hour or so. Wine is certainly in its drinking range and should hold and possible improve for 5 years or so.

Nose of plums and spices, soft round tannins in the mid-range and a moderate finish. Served with grilled ribeye steak. This is a good, but not great wine. Like many of the 2006's it seems to be a bit short in the mid-range. Still, a nice wine for a weekend. Should keep for 5 years or so.

Excellent wine. Soft texture and mature but with nice spice and fruits. Drink now.

Not your typical St. Emilion. Lighter and more like a Merlot. Wine is ready to drink now.
