8.8

Really unremarkable, the typical cheap-ish cherry wine taste — some earth and acid with air, so there’s that. Don’t get the critic scores. 88 — 15 days ago

Pop and pour. Smooth, fruity, a little dark and liquorice-y. Better than I expected, glad I tried it again. Would like to try with a decant. 88. — 2 months ago

9.3

Clay and juicy cassis. Black olive. Tannins taste like an old varnished bureau. This is the wine that made me love wine again — especially French wine — and motivated me to start systematically tasting and making notes. Then of course my liquor store stopped carrying it. I was delighted to find a bottle while traveling. Still a wonderful value and delicious,though age would improve it. 92 or … 93! — 2 months ago
