Quite a promising nose of ripe blackcurrants, then a bright, fruity mouthful of soft, round blackcurrant, with a tinge of cedar. After an hour or so, there's a second wave of dark cherry on top. The finish is quite long too, all in all a very agreeable bottle and excellent value at 7€. Surprisingly good and much better than the Hanteillan 06 at the same price.

nice fruit, but the dusty tannins give it an old world balance, which I Like. A little closed, though, even after a couple hours in the decanter. Solid value.

Good to average Bordeaux, but good QPR.

Better with some age, this is a great QPR. Its straightforward Bordeaux, with lots of fruit, dust and Earth. Good stuff.

An enjoyable, well made Bordeaux. Not complex, but well made.
