June 4, 2023 - Very Napa. Good qpr at $30.
June 22, 2022 - One of my rare 93 pointers (this is only my 9th, and nothing higher at this time)! The additional 2.5 years has definitely smooth this out even further. He still has at least five years more life ahead of it. Worthy of a Point increase. Probably one of the best QPR‘s I’ve ever had for the price paid ($28 from WTSO).
November 17, 2021 - I think the name of this winery is appropriate for this wine. Because the nose is so flowery.
Great sweet flowery fragrent nose, with a light complex flavor. And a nice long finish.
November 9, 2021 - First time consumption, popped 'n poured and loved it. Brilliantly structured with velvety tannins, strong bodied and long enjoyable finish. Held up admirably over four days and certainly entering into a sweet spot of drinking window. A $30 WTSO purchase and sadly have not experienced another offering.
October 31, 2021 - A nice surprise! A pungent punch of dark berries and a little plum. It starts so very smooth almost like it’s a very old wine. The middle is a nice mix of fruit a little oak and finishes so smooth
May 30, 2021 - Last tasted about 20 months ago. This superbly made wine continues to evolve. Much of the fruit bomb has transformed into heavy cassis, with black tea and beef bullion notes. This intense Cab would stand up to most any food pairing, and would be quite enjoyable with grilled meats and wild game at this stage. It's also an ideal intense red wine for a dark chocolate pairing.
April 10, 2021 - Flowery nose, delightful balanced in the mouth, and a nice soft finish.
January 22, 2021 - a Very flowery nose, lots of ripe fruit a bit of cherries.. I really like this wine, its only flaw is a bit of bite on the finish. It is currently rated as a drink now, but I think this bite, might disappear in a couple of years
September 20, 2020 - Very nice, typical Fleury. Big, bold, eucalyptus, red fruit, cedar, a little burn but not too bad. Well served by air, had with and without food, both great. Makes me feel like I am in the tent with Vince cracking jokes.
March 25, 2020 - Very polished on the outside; sweet and chrome like with oak, with just a small more interesting core of pits, agar, and menthol. Strong enough to peel paint.
