  Casis, chocolate. Little bit of baryard funk. Tasty. Still drying short tannins, mid finish. Lovely. Drink over next few years.

  Very enjoyable Fronsac, love the merlot cherry fruit. Very clean fruity nose, almost new world, as are the flavors. I had a glass last night with lots of swirling but no decant and while a bit restrained there was plenty if fruit to enjoy with a simple steak dinner. And now after 24 hours open the tannin is very nicely integrated with the fruit and a 15 second finish evolves with blackberry and chocolate notes. I drank the first six of these a little early it appears but the wine is now entering its prime. Enjoy for next five years at least.

  Last of 6 purchased from Garagiste way back when. I have to disagree with the prior posts stating this wine is on the decline. I found this bottle to be full of fruit and life. Tannins we’re still present, but have definitely faded since my last bottle 2 years ago. Secondary flavors and aromas just starting to emerge. If I had more, I’d love to try again in 2-3 years. Great QPR

  Still vibrant with a little grip. This has been an amazing bottle that has served us well over the years.

  Nose of stewed plums and tar. Very full bodied and with notable high alcohol and a warm zip on the palate after swallowing. Dark black fruits in a very ripe and quite (over) extracted style for my taste. This should probably be drunk now and will not likely improve with additional bottle age. Drink with a fatty red meat like a ribeye.
