Disappointing in relation to the price. Much better choice at $60+ a bottle. Quite lacking depth and short on the palate. There’s a sweetness that makes think there is some sémillon in it? — 2 months ago
Impressive Rhône style Syrah for the price. Could pass for a good Cote Rôtie. Great nose of cigar , red fruit. — a year ago
À bordeaux on steroids. Maybe not much finesse and not as much length but an extremely pleasant wine full of ripe berries, generous on the nose and palate. Certainly and excellent value — a year ago
Some reviews describe it as elegant and delicate! I assume that is if a sledgehammer is elegant. This is a wine that will earn praise from R Parker : have on the palate, some lingering bitterness and presents as a high alcohol even though “only” a 14.2 % per the label. Had it with red meat. A true steakhouse bombastic wine lacking in my view finesse — 17 days ago
Dense , definitely will compare to good chateauneuf du pape. Need to open a couple hrs before drinking — 10 months ago

Meh. Disappointing for something made by Ch Lafleur! Easy to drink, little presence. Something you forget with the glass finished — a month ago
I found it to be a great value. Lots of citrus notes, mostly grapefruit. Controlled Acidity. For the price, you can’t be disappointed — 5 months ago
Big cab Syrah blend. Feels excessively alcoholic in spite of a 13.5% on label. It hits you like a punch in the face but it is a one shot effect without an evolving taste. Maybe will get better a few hours after opening. Follow up a few hours after opening and the day after: not getting any less brutish — a year ago

Pyrethrum and kerosene smell / taste Not my thing. Maybe some like smelling it. — 16 days ago
