2015. 9.0-9.1. Concentrated red/purple, with smooth Merlot fruit and tannins and a touch of leather. Starts the evening fruity and focused but later develops a relatively “leafy” (as a critic said), herbal finish that spoils some of the fun. Drinks well now; don’t see the acid or backbone to make this a long-termer. $43+ at Total.

Jan 10th, 2021I leap through the crowd and embrace it passionately, it greets me, warm, inviting, but not cloying.

Oct 11th, 2020Brooding, deep, dried-cherry flavored Merlot blend. A very enjoyable wine at a reasonable (although expensive $53) price. Ready to drink now.

Feb 8th, 2020Wow, I am not usually a Bordeuax guy but this was definitely the best Bordeaux I’ve ever had. High in alcohol (taste wise) but deep with Rich aromas, lots of leg and body and most of all, a strong peppery finish!! Love it. A gift from Total wine at $55. This was a 2015!

Wow. Stellar wine at a stellar price. I’ll revisit my rating as this rating of 93 reflects pop and pour. This is multi layered and delicious with great balance and purity.
