I'm probably the biggest contributor of entries about this wine and no, this is not over the top at all (it is definitely) but this is really a fun wine that happens to be crafted very close to where I grew up 😊 super cool violet, blackberry, cherry, clay nose. The palate is very well balanced, showing a great acid backbone, but with those bright cherry and blackberry notes all along, a good width, some very mild yet caressing tannins that power up a surprisingly long, fresh, fruity finish. At 8 eur a bottle when you buy it from the estate, this is a one of the best pqr out there. A real steal. The definition of value. — 3 years ago

Nice to have friends with big time cellars! After an hour in the decanter this wine shows beautifully. One of the best Bordeaux I've had and I'm grateful to even have a taste. Wow! — 8 years ago

I'm partial to leoville Barton. They never make an epic wine but consistently very good. This is young but excellent and if you love st julien this is a great option — 8 years ago

Just a sip and I'm entranced. Full, rich, cocoa covered dark fruit and berries. Lush tannins leave me wanting more. In another year you will be lucky to share this one. — 8 years ago

Dark, sweet, youthful fruit. I'm not sure that this one was ready to go yet and rather sure infanticide just happened tonight. Still, a nice full bodied Amarone can be a delight when it is like THIS. Poured into glass with a very dark, black inky component. Nose of fig, molasses. The entry is sweet, with dark youthful, acidic blackberry and toasted caramel. The finish is sweeter, youthful fruit that is well-balanced. Not too hot, not too tannic. For being so young, and not really ready to go, I can only see how this one is going to drink in 3-4 years. 2018-2025 — 8 years ago

Something else. Peated high high. Comparable to the Laphroaig Quarter Cask. I'm on a boat — 7 years ago

If you read my other post....I'm thinking it's (partially) me. Another wine that I usually rate high, but my rating falls short from my typical Opus rating. After my disappointment with the Continuum, I opened this. Was more pleased, but these are two wines I typically would rate 9.4+....so very odd I rated both on the lower 9 end of the scale. Must be me. — 8 years ago
