This was enjoyable, but it was a bit weak and not so flavorful. Dark berries, stale tobacco leaves, leather, and skim milk make up the flavor profile. At 13.5% alc, it complements food well.

PnP. Blackberry and menthol on the nose. A little rounder in the middle than the last bottle, but still not better than average. Good QPR, but Jay McInerney oversold this one.

Brought to a restaurant that said they didn't have a decanter (?!), so had to pop and pour. This wine needs to be decanted to enjoy - didn't show much until the final glass. Blackberry, cassis and menthol on the nose. Dark berries on the palette. Surprisingly round, full-bodied mouth feel for the price point. Look forward to trying another bottle under better circumstances.

(Chateau Jean Faux) #1; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-dark; NOSE-some black currant; cassis action; PALATE-more lush with a silky finish; some nice elegance; some good dark fruit and dark chocolate shavings, but not bringing thunder; serviceable, but there are better things out there for the price; GV-88+
