2020 vintage. Investigating +-$20 red Bordeaux, part two. PNP. Some decent depth for the price. Medium body. Good concentration. A little, minty note amongst the chunk. Finish hangs in there for a spell. In this price range, would tap this again. 5.28.24. — 6 months ago

Beautiful out of the gates. So much deep and savory spice behind a wonderful veil of warm red fruit. Ripe raspberry jam, lovely red plum, pastille, an array of spice from pepper, Ceylon cinnamon, and star anise to menthol and bay leaf. Gorgeous smokey and leathery tones throughout. A show stopper from such a subtle vintage, really inviting with its red profile and aromatics. The tannins have a touch of coarseness, but I find the use of whole cluster to highlight them, it is textural and firm but never sharp. Soulful, love it. Lot 16 12.4. — 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

Absolutely delicious, love it. Don’t want to transcribe my handwritten notes, but lots of fruit, some clear minerals, and a fresh balancing acidity. Creamy cassis is the clearest impression. 93. — 6 months ago
