Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Friday, December 27, 2019 - Great buy, excellent QPR! Still has some fruitiness but it is certainly evolving into something rich and classy. Very masculine characteristics of leather, dark fruit, and tobacco

For this price, I'll likely buy a few more bottles to satisfy my thirst for a bordeaux with a little age on it while my pricier Bordeaux cellars.

C: Brick Red with tawny hues

N: Leather, Cigar Box, Cassis, Dark fruit

P: Black Cherry, Cassis, Leather, Licorice, Tobacco, Earth

F: Long tobacco finish that lasts over 30 seconds

I'd imagine any negative reviews are from folks who like big fruit bombs.
