  April 4, 2024 - Not usually a fan of younger Bordeaux especially without a lot of decanting but I liked this one quite a bit. Tannins were present for sure but well integrated into the cigar box pencil lead vibe. The usual dark fruits, slightly cooked (but pleasantly so). Quite extracted (which I like) and dense but not at all cloying — again the tannins are keeping it back. Like a heavily brewed plum iced tea.

  February 14, 2024 - Trumpet’s review is accurate;
  
  Dark cassis fruits, velvet texture, well judged acidity. Not super digest due to the density of drying and dusty/powdery tannins. Quite nice but could be fresher and more elegant. Fruit noted but cooked/jammy? Quite extracted. Not bad but not great.

  January 24, 2024 - Fresh nose of dark fruits, cigar box, scorched earth and floral notes. The palate is medium bodied, fresh tasting, with a good amount of fine but somewhat drying tannins. The high alcohol (14.5%) shows a bit on the back end, but they managed to mostly integrate it in the dense fruit flavors. The finish is fairly long.

  October 14, 2023 - Did not give this the respect it deserved.
  
  Strong expression of Pessac-Léognan terroir, including scorched earth. Delightful varietal expression. Appealing violets and blackberry top notes.
  
  The wine tastes like it smells. Excellent structure, alcohol comes through prominently, presenting a minor balance issue. Food helps mitigate the heat.
  
  Based on this experience, recommend holding bottles for three or so years. Otherwise, if drinking in the near term, a 4+ hour decant seems in order. Excellent QPR!
