3/15/2022 - jkvedar Likes this wine: 89 pointsSimilar notes to before, but this bottle is better. No raisiny character. Popped and poured. Classic Bordeaux nose: cedar, leather and tobacco on the nose. Palate is well-balanced. Medium finish. Better with food than alone. |

10/19/2021 - jkvedar Likes this wine: 88 pointsStraight -forward/pleasant. Popped and poured. Slightly raisinated. Mostly stewed fruits on the nose. Medium minus acidity. Low tannins. Less secondary and tertiary flavors and aromas . A good mid-week choice but not overly complex |

10/14/2021 - tedcholl Does not like this wine: 86 pointsSomewhat disappointed in this 22 year old Right Bank Bordeaux. Color only showed a little sign of aging but there wasn't much fruit. Dried fruit, sandalwood, dried earth. Still have 2 more bottles so hoping this was an off bottle. |

10/11/2015 - cono_sur Likes this wine: 89 pointsBlend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Blackberry, dark fruits and a whiff of dried fruit aromas from the cork. Dark garnet coloured with a tinge of brown forming along the rim. Savoury medium intensity nose with earthy, cherry, dried herbs and hints of tobacco in the glass. The palate medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, spiced tobacco, black cherry, sage, and leathery notes, Has very good acidity, Finishes long and a touch warm with dark currant, earthy and mineral after taste. Enjoy over the next 5-6 years. |

1/11/2013 - joncohen wrote: 85 pointsAppearance: opaque maroon/garnet, going to clear pink, medium weight and viscosity. On the nose: damp earth, wood, lead pencil, tobacco, and plum. On the palate: plum, subtle blueberry notes, leather; tannins still pretty tight (here I am disagreeing with my earlier TN, despite its having been written when the bottle had a year less age). Not esp generous with its fruit, and has plenty of acid to play against the fruit that is present. In short, this is an old school Bordeaux. I am less enthusiastic now than the earlier TN suggests I once was. It now strikes me as a perfectly serviceable Tuesday night wine with structure, typicity, and old world charm in spades (which is nothing to sneeze at), but not more than that. (Still a strong QPR for the $10 I paid.) |

12/1/2010 - joncohen wrote: 89 pointsRuby red color, fades to clear violet; good legs, throwing substantial sediment. Aromas of lead pencil, violet, plum, and spice/black pepper. On the palate I get blueberry, plummy red fruit, spice, some leathery tobacco flavors, and medium soft tannins. Long finish. Complex and evolving. Impressive effort; excellent instance of its type. I believe it will continue to improve as the tannins soften further; will hold my remaining bottle for another year or so. (I picked this up at a clearance price of $10/bottle; at that bargain bin price this is one of the best QPRs I've ever had! Wish I had bought more.) |
