Love this Bordeaux blend. The smell is awesome - lightly sweet - and I love the dryness of the wine on the palate. Still a little bit of fruit though, which I like. Great for our Bastille Day cheese board (except for the salmon eggs - it highlighted their strong salt flavor) and would buy again for a French-themed meal. — 5 years ago
Vintage 2014 / I wanted a classic French wine in honour of Bastille Day. Decanted two hours in advance.. Developed very well in the last 24 months. Classic smell with laurel, chocolate, forrestwood. Well balanced taste. If the vintner can make such a good wine in’14 how will the wine taste from a great year? Interesting domaine in Graves to follow. / Paired with a Boeuf Brochette and cheeses. — 6 years ago
An outstanding Rhone (100% syrah) at this price ($65 off restaurant list). A pronounced earth/barnyard nose that was interesting and appealing. Good depth on the palate. Bastille Kitchen with Joel and Lisa. — 6 years ago

Tons of minerals on the nose that come through on the palate, light and crisp with barely ripe green pear tartness and flavors, and all those lingering minerals.
Happy Bastille Day 🇫🇷 — a year ago
