December 17, 2022 - 6th bottle of a case i found a few years back for a ridiculous price. What is striking at first is the color: dark, no rusty edge, looks very much like a young wine. Absolutely stunning nose and palate. Mature and at peak, everything i love about bordeaux (and i am picky for Bordeaux!) but so much younger than its age (some guests said mid 2000’s!). An absolute delight and i feel no rush drinking the remaining bottles. Snap some up if you see them. A gem of a QPR!

July 3, 2020 - Agree with previous poster. This still has life and was better second day.

February 15, 2020 - Saturday Blinds at Prarie Grass (Prarie Grass Cafe, Northbrook IL): Nose: The nose is aromatic and mature with dark red cherries, cranberries, kirsch, cigar wrapper, leather, herbs, and cedar tones. There is excellent depth with a good bit of class to round it all out.
Taste: The feel is medium bodied with medium acidity and polished, medium tannins. The structure is there for a frame now while the feel shows off excellent depth and balance with dark red cherries, cranberries, kirsch, leather, and cedar tones.
Overall: This is mature and expressive with a whole lot of depth. The tones are refined and well balanced as this is a real joy to drink. -
