Another left behind wine that is still drinking very well. Age showed in prune notes but it’s otherwise balanced and great with the ribs — 2 months ago
Beautiful, quintessential nose! Silky and balanced from start to finish. Not trying to be too bold but it doesn’t disappear either. Truly enjoyable Bordeaux and I would absolutely buy it again — 3 months ago

Ive never smelled a wine that smells this good! Bursting with red fruit, smells like it would be sweet, but it’s a nice balance of sweet vs dry (and low sugar content). Med-full body, it really was delightful — 3 months ago

Last one? Still holding up well with dark fruited earthy notes and a robust firm texture that is very different from the Prestige bottle. This one has Syrah on top of Grenache and Mouvedre so there’s that — 2 months ago
Blend of primarily Roussanne and Marsanne, with splashes of other grapes, aged for 6 months, concrete and oak, lemon yellow color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with floral notes. On the palate flavors of lemon citrus, ripe apples with notes of honey, nuts and floral. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, mineral and citrus tang. — 3 months ago
I’m in the 91+ range here. Had hoped for a more wow experience but this was simply solid and that’s ok. Not all wines need to be stunners.
80 Grenache/ 15 Mourvèdre/ 5 Syrah. Followed from bottle over the course of two hours.
To this wine’s credit, it presented exactly as it should. Warm 2015 vintage type profile which extracts the Grenache (ripe red fruits, sweet spice, little heat) but also accentuates/deepens the garrigue/potpurri profile. Alcohol pokes out a touch on the palate but it’s mostly juicy red berry fruit, little bit of dirty fig, herbal. On the whole, this is a very clean style of CdP that presents with no Brett/funk but also speaks to Grenache (as opposed to being a typical super CdP blend). Drink or hold another 3-5yrs for this window. — 6 months ago
