  April 27, 2018 - Very nice drinking. Was expecting it to be a little tight and harsh (note a reasonable expectation) and I couldn't have been more wrong. Really nice, but drink now.

  March 17, 2018 - Tasted alongside the 2009 and the 2010. The cork broke. The wine was medium to dark garnet in colour and threw a notable amount of sediment. It offered dried berries, raisins, garrigue, cracked black pepper, eucalyptus and smoke on the sweet-scented and very raisiny nose. On the palate, the wine was equally raisiny and showed dried berries, raisins, plum, garrigue, black pepper, liquorice and glycerin, with grainy, medium- to medium-plus tannin and good length. The medium-bodied wine was a little alcoholic on the end, and more developed than expected. I know that this estate is worshiped by many, but I am unable to appreciate the overripe, raisiny and alcoholic style. Drink up.

  April 9, 2016 - Lovely, mature CNdP, with bright cherry notes and some sweet herbs and some floral notes. A good match for a rich sausage based cassoulet. Gentle acidity and fully resolved tannins, so drink up!

  March 25, 2012 - Bottle opened in the course of two hours. The initial tannin dropped away and the fruit opened, but not over ripe and held a good structure.. Color was very good as was the bouquet and palate Easily finished by two in one sitting and displayed a good Chanteauneuf character. Went very well with food.

  November 23, 2010 - No formal notes, but very good. Lots of red fruit on the nose. Excellent QPR--I think I paid less than $30 for this beauty!
