A very nice wine after 12 years in the bottle. Still lots of fruit, not over extracted, dark cherry, cassis, leather, tobacco. Agreed, it is more similar to a French style wine. — 6 years ago

She’s the girl you have known since you were a boy. You shared sparklers back then. Now you celebrate moments. She hasn’t changed, and shouldn’t. Even better courtesy of the manager at Shangri-La Paris. — 8 years ago

The cabernet cousin to one of my favorites. First time I have seen this. In the house style of big extracted fruit, supple tannins, and high but well hidden ABV. Would seek out again but if not there is always Blue Eyed Boy. — 8 years ago

Nicely aged. Needed a few minutes to come around but when it did boy oh boy. Brioche, nuts and lychee fruit. Excellent mousse. Tight — 7 years ago

I picked up this Magnum of Palmer for £200 recently 😱 from a shop closing down RRP £430+ so I was a happy boy 😊 Not as rich in depth as top vintages but a beautiful elegant Margaux nevertheless 😉

Mulled, Fall spices on the nose. The color of used motor oil. Fresh cinnamon cake, cola, and bevy of spices fire this bad boy up. #craftbeer — 8 years ago

An easy everyday Bordeaux as it’s affordable. Very fruit forward with spice but finish is lacking. — 6 years ago

Almost a 91. But a bit short. Peaches and dried nuts. A little on the viscous side and to be honest with you I really didn't know what to expect. Leaner towards the finish. If I saw this on a discount for $40, I'd buy a couple of bottles. Rearding longevity, I just don't think this one is getting any better in the bottle, so might as well drink it now. — 7 years ago

Wonderful 100% Washington State Grenache. Cherry, Earth, Black Pepper, Herbal aromas. Cherry, red currant and Vanilla flavors. Light color and body. Great summer red. So Fruit forward, it almost seems that it has a bit of sweetness. (But really bone dry) Hint of chocolate on the finish. Serve it a bit chilled! — 9 years ago
