April 23, 2014 - Aouch...
Depuis notre dernière bouteille en 2012, il semble ici que l'alcool domine outrageusement l'ensemble, lui donnant au premier chef un profil éthéré désagréable, avec un peu de fruit et quelques arômes tertiaires au second plan. Tanins souples. Relents vanillés et minéraux.
Tout de même bon dans l'ensemble, meilleur rafraîchit, mais il a clairement passé son apogée.
Encore une fois un démonstration de cette insupportable aberration de la mode des taux d'alcool élevés dans cette région. Fort dommage. -

June 24, 2012 - Bouchon en excellente condition. Impeccable. Excellente tenue. L'évolution continue. À mesure que l'ensemble s'amincie avec le temps, l'alcool semble pour présent. Aura donné un très bon rendu légèrement rafraîchit, avec des notes tertiaires qui deviennent plus présentent, et au second plan un fruité plus fin, des arômes de cuir et de tabac, de fumée... Beaucoup de plaisir ici encore. Boire sans attendre, à 16-18 celsius. 89-88

February 19, 2012 - L'alcool (15%) transcende trop lorsque tempéré. Servir autour de 15 celsius pour plus de plaisir.
Nez : projection 6/10, beaucoup de fruits, pierres chaudes, touches tertiaires agréables, pointe d'encens, fumée,
Bouche : sec, ample à grasse, tanins souples, amertume modérée, acidité modérée, persistance moyenne+, rétro fruitée, tertiaire, fumée, encens
Conclusion : fondu, prêt, encore de très bonne tenue, ne se bonifiera plus, boire jusqu'en 2013. Cette fois-ci le bouchon était en excellente condition, contrairement à la bouteille ouverte en mars 2011. -

Pesquie Wine Tasting and Huge Contest, Episode #491, 6/23/2008 (link) 90+ points(Chateau Pesquie Quintessence) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-heavy blackberry; some mulberry; very floral (violets); very fresh; TASTE-this is extremely good and extremely fresh; it has a GREAT mid-palate; dark chocolate and green pepper on the transition flavor and then on the secondary end I get really ripe cassis and blackberries; really dark and complex flavors on the back-end; great length; great finish; makes me think, "Wow, this would rival many $35-$40 CdP's, but a little more New World than those"; what I like it that this gives me New World weight and explosiveness like we see in Spain and Australia, but has much more balance and gives an obvious picture of the terroir; I get chocolate covered bluestone (a nice minerality) w/ a little black pepper; many would love this; it has the stability, complexities and dimension for multiple wine drinkers; this has a lot of Old World love but a lot of fresh fruit and pizzazz and charisma that New World fans would enjoy; this is the PERFECT red wine with food; a definite "buy"; RP-91; GV-90+
