Nice balance, good berries up front and pepper and a little leather. I felt it could have a little more depth. Ugo liked it more than me. Aged well. Nice treat. — 4 years ago

The nose is different. Much more woodsy and less fruit than I’d have imagined. The flavour profile was blackberry based and again, some wood. Some eucalyptus and green grass. Also some wet soil and cloves. The tannins weren’t a punch in the face by any means, but also haven’t haven’t completely softened as you might expect in a ten year-old. The palate was uninspiring as there was a watery-ness in the mid palate. I’m not sure whether this is over the hill or just not quite there yet and in a dumb phase? Will wait and see for the final two bottles. Solid, I guess. Not yet amazing. — 7 years ago

2023 vintage. Resto cost $14.50 or so per bottle. Excellent value for a step above entry-level red Bordeaux. Structure, fruit and purpose. 3.27.26. — 3 months ago

Smells tight right out of the bottle through an aerator (as you’d expect). Tastes very good! But, anonymous. It tastes like very good high quality wine. — 5 years ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Very pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, cooked plums, light cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, chocolates and light black pepper.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, black plums, cherries, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and light earth.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a delicious Merlot from Saint Emilion. Soft and elegant. Well balanced and rich. Spicy, and showing nice finesse.

This 8 year old will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Fruit forward with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel. A Merlot for the Cabernet Sauvignon lover.

A great sipping wine, that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 18 months.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$55. — 4 months ago

First time having a Soufflé and no better place than Le Soufflé in Paris. India went with the Henry VI Soufflé which is a cheese Soufflé with a chicken and mushroom sauce. I went with the beef bourguignon.

Deep ruby core with lighter edges and fine sediment. Aged beautifully with some dark plums, damp earthiness and moist tobacco leaves. Balanced with medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Well integrated with dark berries, tobacco leaves, and solid acidity. Drink till 2024.
