2020 vintage. It's a pleasure to see that the Quié family ( also Rauzan-Gassies and Tronquoy-Lalande) is finally getting serious about quality. Easily the best wine I have ever tasted from this former perennial underachiever. A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. Cassis, blueberries and toasted oak. Medium-bodied, with juicy black fruit and ripe tannin. It lacks a bit of concentration in the midpalate, but the finish is unexpectedly long. Abv. 14%. — 3 years ago
Opened quickly. Smooth and slighly fruity. Had a second bottle in Paris. — 9 years ago
Excellent white Bordeaux. Honey and floral nose. Honeysuckle, lemon, lemon zest, dried green apple, almond and salt with austere minerality. Very complex and layered with amazing acidity. I’m still on the fence about Bordeaux as a region, but this is outstanding. With potatoes au gratin, romanesco, herbs and a side of balsamic greens. The dish didn’t turn out so well - too dry. But at least the wine was good! — 10 months ago
Mellow half bottle and some frosé waiting for porchetta https://m.klwines.com/p/i?i=1465099 — 4 years ago

For me, this is perfectly aged. Still some nice fruit, but loads of clay-like minerality and cedar in the nose. Soft and palate-coating but with nice balance, the tannins are still present but are not obtrusive. Really long, clingy finish. Really fine. — 17 days ago
