  October 31, 2018 - Notes écrites quelques jours après dégustation.
  La note tient compte de l'exceptionnel rapport Q-P.
  Couleur rouge de falun, tirant vers le brique.
  Nez expressif et original. Thé vert infusé, cerise au marasquin, pivoine.
  En bouche, de la matière et de la mâche, cerise et noix ( cherry blossom !), encore de la structure mais tanins bien intégrés, aucune rugosité, pas de sucrosité excessive et une bonne longueur. Un délice et à ce prix (12$ en 2011) une aubaine.

  June 13, 2013 - Kind of neutral but quite drinkable, this is a beverage Chianti. Only paid $7 for it and it was great for an occasion where the wine sang chorus. Very developed and unadorned, it is nicely balanced and with smooth tannins. Again I was searching for wines for my daughter and this would work at the price.

  February 28, 2013 - The "I Must Know What I'm Talking About Review:" The wine looks Ruby colored. The legs are Fast. It smells like Blackberry, and Black currant (cassis). It tastes like Walnut, Burnt, Stoniness, and Black currant (cassis). The body is Light/Medium. The wine has Round texture. The wine finishes Long. 87 Points
  
  The "I Don't Know What I'm Talking About Review:" Very enjoyable wine. Moderately sweet on the tongue and slightly above moderate bitterness in the throat. Aftertaste is long and satisfying. Would go great with a juicy burger with sweet pickles and ketchup on it. 4 out of 5 stars.
