QPR banger! Aromatic nose of flowers and spices, sandalwood, violets, and dried cherry. Really splendid, notice a different layer with every sip! — 3 months ago
From White Horse Wine and Spirits. Kinda has like a medicinal thing going on, like cherry cough syrup 🤔 — 7 months ago
Pretty volatile soon after pouring. Calmed down with some time in the glass. But still unlikely to please everyone. The carbonic maceration is evident. With all of this, I ended up finding it to be an interedting and enjoyable expression of terroir. — 24 days ago
Nose: lilacs floral.
Palate: sweet blackberry fruit. Mere hint spice. Delicious. — 2 months ago
Opens with an odd vegetal note but smooths out into a satisfying, well structured Gigondas. Mom up for a visit — 4 months ago
Decanted and aerated. Not much bouquet but some spicy berries. Delicate mild dark berry middle and then finishes with that long old world earthiness. Dry dry finish. Perfect with apple topped pork. — 2 months ago
Nose: Bordeaux plus lilacs.
Palate : sweet fruit. Crushable. Hint vegetal. Not opulent on opulent on open. With air more serious. — 2 months ago
