  Gave a 90 minute decant and the astringency made it apparent that it needed more air. Another 90 minutes and was rewarded with a juicy right banker full of plum and cherry. Another 2018 Bordeaux in a good window. Had an equally good 2018 left banker yesterday but believe this will be real good in another year or three. Great QPR. 4.1 stars

  This is not our preferred style -- it's a soft wine, relatively unstructured, with ripe flavors of plum and chocolate and 15% alcohol -- but it is good for what it is, and it is definitely good for $18. It's certainly a wine that would make a lot of people happy, and it's a bottle that we finished without much difficulty, particularly because it became more interesting, less flabby with some air.

  Our second bottle drank better than the first. This had lots of dark cherries and plums/prunes, chocolate, smoke, with a hint of that marsh/clay funk that I dig in Bordeaux. Could be even better in 5+ years. A great QPR from the region. Rating: 90+

  One of our favorite, everyday, Bordeaux’s. Balanced, integrated and delicious, espically for the price. Nothing to not like here.
