Initially popped and poured a small glass but it seemed all knees and elbows so I grabbed a decanter which made a significant difference. The 2016 pours a deep ruby color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with ripe and some bruised red and black fruits: Bing cherry, dark chocolate, black plum, salmiakki, purple flowers, new leather, espresso, a touch of Madagascar vanilla, and fine warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, savory and absolutely decadent like a fine chocolate covered cherry. It’s also quite powerful but remarkably balanced despite the high alcohol (15%). However, it’s unquestionably Right Bank. Hard to imagine a more impressive wine from Côtes de Bourg. Drink now with a 30min decant and enjoy through 2036+? — 4 days ago

Strong tanines, alcohol and round full bodied wine. Fruity at the start and gets spicy at the end. — 8 months ago

100% Carignan Rose from an “off the beaten path” region. Pale pink color. Expressive aromas of red berry fruit and rose petals. Baked strawberry and red raspberry fruit flavors with additional hints of red delicious apple, cherry, cranberry and lemon zest. Totally fruit forward. Medium-plus (slightly spicy and minerally) finish, creamy texture and bright acidity. So fresh tasting, lively and well balanced. Light bodied and refreshing. Unexpectedly delicious. Very food (including spicy) friendly. Excellent QPR! Thanks Kase! — a month ago

Intensely mineral. Green apple. Faint petrol. Exactly what I want from a Grenache Gris/blanc. Pair with oysters. — 3 months ago

First wine of 2025. Served along pork Filet Mignon. No notes as we are enjoying our first 2025 meal with my family. A bit of age on it. A new, fun label that represents the owners' family quite well (a group of artists). Violet, blackberry and pepper. Great width, great matter, long finish, nice caressing tannins. Happy new year ! — 2 months ago

Cotes de Catalan red with Guinea Fowl at Spring. Excellent fruit, not the graininess I can find in Grenache/Carignan reds at times. — 2 years ago
