| | Tasted by KJD45$ on 8/17/2022 & rated 91 points: It’s an herbal Provence nose for sure..backed up by some red purple fruit…
Nose follows onto the palate but plum and garrigue emerge on the palate..

| | Tasted by ogres3 on 3/9/2022 & rated 91 points: Hadn't tried this since our wolf died. Looks like it has improved with age. Relatively full bodied wine with rich fruit, pleasantly integrated. (1363 views) |

| | Tasted by MicklethePickle on 10/28/2021 & rated 92 points: Day 2. Pretty strawberry jam and red fruit aromas. Redcurrant. In the mouth, round, ripe, tannins in check and mostly gone, quite nice. Rather impressive, especially for the appellation. 5-13-16-8: 92/100. (1295 views) |
| | Tasted by MicklethePickle on 10/27/2021 & rated 89 points: Popped and poured. Very dark red, no sign of age. Nose is earthy with hints of red fruit. Quite nice in the mouth, with tobacco and red fruit. Nice finish. 4-11-16-8: 89/100. (1216 views) |
| | Tasted by ogres3 on 10/13/2021 & rated 90 points: Solid. Medium to full bodied. (979 views) |
| | Tasted by GlenviewGSW on 9/27/2021 & rated 93 points: Minimal notes but wine really opened up after a couple of hours. Dark ripe fruit and long rich but balanced finish. (1013 views) |
| | Tasted by GoBlue2002 on 8/3/2021 & rated 92 points: Hit the spot tonight. Very modern in style.
Not the most complex, just tasty.
Cherry, plum, meatiness of syrah, plush. (1164 views) |
| | Tasted by John McCabe on 7/31/2021 & rated 93 points: Exceeded expectations - this was brooding, so much dark fruit along with power. Wish I got more of this. (1020 views) |
| | Tasted by vinko84 on 6/8/2021 & rated 93 points: Outstanding value for the money. Great pairing with lamb chops. (893 views) |
| | Tasted by jackaroo on 4/5/2021 & rated 93 points: All the Puech Haut Pic St. Loup needed was a little more cellar time. If you waited (six years assuming proper cellar storage) a definite 93. (1144 views) |
| | Tasted by ogres3 on 3/12/2021 & rated 91 points: Same as prior notes. (1083 views) |
| | Tasted by ogres3 on 3/12/2021 & rated 90 points: A very solid alternative when you've had a long day and just want to pop and drink a pleasant wine without the quaffing and praising and wondering if you're really getting $50/glass of enjoyment. (971 views) |
| | Tasted by gallu on 2/7/2021 & rated 91 points: 91 Rojo rubí brillante, bien cubierto. Nariz donde se muestra de inicio buena madera, tostados, vainilla, y que también tiene mucha fruta roja ácida. Fresas, frambuesas, pero también cuero y tabaco. En boca tiene un tacto cremoso, con tanino muy redondo y pulido, buena acidez, y bastante fruta, no escondida tras la madera. Un muy buen Pic Saint Loup y el único vino que me ha gustado hasta ahora de este productor. (1203 views) |
| | Tasted by KJD45$ on 12/26/2020 & rated 90 points: Opened thru Venturi.....
Needs time to open..
At first nose and flavor is dominated by a Provence herbs scent..
Slight note of stewed fruit..eventually all that gives way to a better
dark fruits experience....it’s an interesting wine and one I will like to see
Over next few years...it’s retained a rustic note throughout the night.. (1143 views) |
| | Tasted by ogres3 on 6/5/2020 & rated 90 points: Very good QPR. Full-bodied, rich fruit, good week-day wine. (1554 views) |
| | Tasted by Amerique on 5/23/2020 & rated 93 points: Round lush delicious dark strawberry/blueberry fruit, excellent structure, ample finish, very good value (1426 views) |
| | Tasted by quaffnov on 5/22/2020 & rated 92 points: Hour and a half decant, the nose and the palate are slightly sweet with dark fruit, vanilla, pleasant spices. Full bodied with a silky mouthfeel that is long lasting, the syrah and grenache are well balanced and blended together perfectly. (1395 views) |
| | Tasted by azscot on 4/24/2020 & rated 90 points: Deep ruby with black fruit and some herbs, medium acidity and firm tannins. Paired with a tritip. The Syrah is a bit overpowering for me in this blend and I feel it could have done with a greater percentage of Grenache. (1445 views) |
| | Tasted by HU on 4/19/2020 & rated 92 points: Dark, rich, medium-to-full-bodied, slightly sweetish Grenache(60%)-Syrah(40%) Rhone blend, with delicious tastes of figs, plums, dark honey, black berry, pepper and spices. PnP and drank. Could it have used more air? May be, may be not: I enjoyed it too much directly out of the bottle to wait and compare. 92 points. … March 28, 2022: still very enjoyable, though perhaps not quite a 92. Downgrading to 91? I keep it to 92 for now: it develops during the evening. In a good place now. Strawberries, cherry, licorice. (1481 views) |
| | Tasted by ogres3 on 4/8/2020 & rated 90 points: Enjoyable. Benefits from air. Full-bodied, dark fruit. Not overly nuanced or exciting, but good pounder/QPR (1092 views) |
| | Tasted by Jackbnielsen on 2/23/2020 & rated 91 points: Surprisingly good for the price. (1197 views) |
