Sipping Fine Wine

9.8

Blend of 60% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby purple color with aromas of ripe berry fruits, cedar, floral and earthy spice notes. On the palate flavors of blueberry, plums and blackberry with vanilla, licorice, tobacco, espresso and toasty oak notes. Long rich finish on fine ripe tannins, will age very well, can start to drink now, but should wait a decade or more. Very Nice! — 15 days ago

Vanilla, coconut. Has to be American oak, right? #4 on the night — 13 days ago

Good QPR wine that is slowly entering its drinking window. Fruit forward with dark berries and blackcurrant. Went well with lasagne. Would recommend and buy again. — 24 days ago

Minerals... Aged red fruit. Beautiful bouquet. This wine has come together nicely and it paired nicely with the beef tenderloin.

Outstanding. 16 years old and about peak I think - I don't think it would benefit from getting older. Perfect balance, light on the tannin, well evolved fruit, but not overly ripe. Well integrated with earthy, leathery notes. — 5 days ago

A bit past its prime. Was more enthusiastic when I had this wine three years ago. Still enjoyable, though. — 7 days ago

2000 vintage. Mid-shoulder fill with top-notch cork. Decanted and tasted after 3 hours. Medium/medium-heavy body. Jello chocolate pudding nose. Chunky mix of dark and milk chocolate flavors in the frontal palate that picked up a hitchhiking, dark plum passenger in the mid-palate and cruised to the finish without any speed bumps. Tannins almost completely integrated. Smooth, rich, weighty, crowd-pleasing finish. Wanted a small, dirty dissenting opinion to further confirm the current harmony/vibe but none was forthcoming. So much life ahead. Zero rush to crush. 08.01.25. — 21 days ago
