Never would have guessed a Bourgogne if tasted blind. Complex weighty nose of ripe red fruits and earthy notes and autumn leaves though palate a bit more acidic than expected. That profile carried through to finish. 16 years and still drinking well. Great with Amahs ribs — 4 years ago
Strolled into Trader Joe’s; the shelf was stocked with this. Couldn’t believe it. Picked up another half case. This is a phenomenal bordeaux and one of the best QPRs around. Haven’t tasted in a year and it’s just as memorable. Lots of great mushroom and sweaty gym socks with a dusty, tannic finish. Perfect example of a phenomenal wine at sub-$20 that drinks at 3-4x the price. — 5 years ago

Southern Rhône valley (Gigondas and Vaucluse) so likely mainly Grenache rather than Syrah in blend. I liked, velvety and fruity but not too much. Mineral notes too. Moderate long finish with minimal tannins. For W just so so. From Haskell’s box. — 6 months ago
A bit sweet balanced with dry. Fun. Paired well with sushi. — 10 months ago

Absolutely beautiful and crowd pleasing thanksgiving wine. Mouth watering acidity, bell pepper, black currant, blackberries, raspberries, herbs and forest floor. — 5 months ago
