4/15/2024 - Hamersly Likes this wine: 91 pointsInitially had a bit of a hard, greenish edge to the finish, but happily this vanished after a couple of hours in the decanter. Fleshy with plenty of ripe fruit. A delight today, and a potential killer if the years bring more complexity. Outstanding QPR, borderline 92. |

4/4/2024 - Sanlucar wrote: 89 pointsWell balanced with minor components of spices & herbs and with good fruit flavors; and the 15% abv is well concealed. This is a non-vintage blend of 3 vintages; and it can be considered a success regarding the art of blending but it's much thinner than we expected and rather light for a serious CdP. Once again, highly over-rated by the established "wine critics". |

3/30/2024 - seeyouintee Likes this wine: 91 pointsPurple core, with just a hint of bricking at the rim. Powdery plum, blackberry, soubois, crushed violets, and anise on the nose. Palate is still surprisingly dense, but follows the nose, with marked acidity. Long (30+ seconds) finish, with a lingering tartness. Very good now, but if I had another bottle I'd hold it for 5+ years. |

3/30/2024 - Bubblesearcher23 wrote: 90 pointsThis was not powerful, but was quite elegant. Deep garnet with a browning rim. Nose is clean, not super perfumed, with raspberry, red fruit, gamey notes, cloves, and a hint of pepper. On the palate, blueberry, red fruits, red licorice, herbs. I think this is a well made wine, but doesn’t bowl me over with complexity and flavor. Solid QPR, but not sure I’d buy again. Unsure if I love the blueberry bomb on the palate. |

3/28/2024 - Delund Likes this wine: 92 points1 hour decant, 58 F. Medium ruby color. Lovely nose of big plum fruit, smoke, meat and allspice that gradually receded with time and air. Minimal oak, light pleasant acidity, smooth silky tannins with just a bit of drying grip, alcohol well-integrated. Medium-bodied. Red cherry fruit on the palate, hints of raw beef, balsamic and olive notes. Lingering finish. Just a lovely wine, and great QPR. Will try to hold off on my last bottle for a few years to see how this evolves, but it is drinking so well now that I may not be able to. |

3/25/2024 - JJYoyo wrote: 89 pointsMaybe too young, maybe my tastes have shifted, but I found this competently made and enjoyable but a little ponderous. Am I no longer liking CdP in general? I don’t think so because I had Pegau da Capo and loved that. Maybe I just don’t like multi vintage wines unless champagne — I have similar reactions to Unico Reserva Especials. I was surprised to find this was mostly Grenache after looking it up, although it does have a lot of dried herbs and leather notes. This was a de Negoce purchase and at those prices, this was very good value. Respected producer but I just wasn’t feeling it tonight — except for the 15% abv. Gonna save my other bottle for several years. |
