Seemed very heavy with merlot. Smooth but rigid. Very young obviously. Very light on fruit and more medicinal in flavor. Shortish finish. — 2 days ago

Happy Thanksgiving!! This was really good on PnP, but didn’t improve and may have even weakened after air in the bottle. Phenomenal nose of earth, dust, and tar. Classic Bordeaux. Good structure with dark fruit. Finish is medium plus. I would drink sooner rather than later even though it’s a 2010. — 8 days ago

Medium gold color. Massive butter and cream that makes me feel like the wine is missing something. A little acidity wouldn’t hurt. Serve on the colder side as far as I’m concerned. — 14 days ago

Below average unfortunately. Doesn’t seem like these bottles age well at all. Wasn’t flawed, but very tart and lacked depth. Fruit was present, but needed more oak or something. I’ll keep trying as we love the brand. — 14 days ago

Disappointing. Big vintage variation with this producer as the 2009 was awesome. Very similar to my previous note but maybe lacked even more depth and structure. — 5 days ago

Happy Thanksgiving!! Didn’t drink very much of this, but what I did have was very unique and tasty. Extremely rich and not much in the way of acidity. Really coats the palate with butter and cream. — 8 days ago

Absolutely blown away at how well this aged!! One of the best Napa Blends I’ve ever had. Would have guessed high end Bordeaux if tasting blind. 1hr decant. Dark red color. Nose had tar, smoke, graphite, and earth. Wine was deep and refined, with cherry and pencil shaving flavors. Doubt I’ll find another ‘93 but will definitely try! This is one of those amazing experiences that wine lovers desire! — 14 days ago

Somewhat over the hill. Orangish color with straw and oak elements. Not bad but not the classic RG I remember. My fault totally for waiting so long I think. — 7 days ago

Excellent QPR! Great vintage and maker definitely helped, but I was very impressed with this. Well balanced with good dark cherry fruit. I would say a nice mix of Bordeaux and Napa. Paired nicely with pork loin and cheese perogies. — 11 days ago

Dark gold color. Crisp and nutty. Excellent flavor and high quality. Very similar to the Moet Imperial from the night before. — 14 days ago
