Funky nose, warm oakiness. Very much a fruit forward palette, reflecting the hot year. Tart red fruit, moderate complexity, medium plus finish. One bottle left... — 11 years ago

Bordeaux blend on the cheap. This is amazing for the $15 price point, though better in warmer vintages than '10. Just a great everyday drinker... — 11 years ago

Not as delicate as in cooler years, which Aliette does really well in. Fruit is overshadowed by the acidity, quite surprisingly, for a hot vintage. Nose is nice,
as is the oak. — 11 years ago

Great fruit for a cold vintage. Nuanced flavors, oak is prominent. Med+ finish, tannins and acidity will allow further aging — 11 years ago

Dark core of cassis and tobacco. Full bodied, nice oak and acid balance, tannins pronounced but smooth. Great QPR at $22. — 11 years ago
