Nice delicious fresh red berries. Stellar QPR at only $11.

I think this wine is highly under rated. I don't find it too sweet all, and I'm pretty sensitive to that. I agree with the pear taste and also I get a little apricot. I have very little sense of smell, but taste wise it was a perfect combo with some spicy breaded salmon.

It stared with raspberries and cocoa. Then the reverse. Dellious and probably the best QPR I've ever had.

It's a tasty Burgundy-like wine. Nice pure fruit, but when I have an Hermitage I'm expecting power, and this one doesn't deliver that way. It's ok.

It's a jammy wine, and at $50 a disappointment.

Smooth and powerful. Loaded with tannin and a full mouth feel. Although I can't smell, it tastes to me like dark bitter chocolate. Beautiful. The price of this wine ($19.99) for the value is truly amazing.

It's good to find a great wine at a decent price. Wine Spectator says "displays spice, leather and tobacco notes." I guess that best describes the flavors, but the best part is the mouth feel. Very lush and velvety. A beautiful wine and well worth the $43 bucks.

I think this wine is the best QPR wine I've had in long long time. Twenty Five bucks it reminds of my favorite Saint Julien at five times the price, the Leoville Barton. When it's opened it very aromatic, it's smooth and mostly red berries. The kind of wine you want slip slowly and enjoy every drop.
The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like raspberry, red currant and gooseberry. It tastes like gooseberry, raspberry, red currant and blackberry. The body is medium/full. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Very nice. Near ripe apricots with a touch of honey. Delicious.

I don't get it all these great ratings. For the price a total disappointment. It's ok, but no where near 90 bucks worth.

This wine is outrageously delicious. It's the essence of limes. It's frizante at first, and then after about an hour or so it takes off with it's flavor. Its usually hard for me to accurately judge a white wine, but this one was no problemo.

I really don't get these ratings. This wine was $117 bucks and disappointing if it was $25. It's shallow, dry tannins, no complexity, and sour. Smoke ok, I get that. It looks beautiful, dark and inky but looks ain't everything. St Julien wines are my favorite wines of Bordeaux, but this one is not worth it.

So smooth and completely balanced and delicious. I'm not even going to attempt the wine superlatives. I hardly ever repeat wine purchases, but this is my fourth sampling and still a real joy. I've had the expensive ones too, and this is a real QPR value.

I'm not adept at describing all the nuances and special scents and flavors, but this wine is very good. Lots of depth and nice tannins, nothing distasteful. Rich and delicious. Good wine, a real bargain.

It starts with nice tropical and mineral and turbos into a citrus acid drive. I can't believe it's only $17, very good.
