Visiting an old friend. Now I'm down to 2 bottles in my cellar . I bought a case 25 years ago and every once in awhile I enjoy this ageless wine. It still has a soft mid pallet lingering red berry and tannic flavor. The richness of this Cabernet has done nothing but improve over the years. I dare say it will not further improve but hopefully it will linger at this quality level.the mouth feel is an experience in and of its self. What a wonderful treat🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 9 months ago

Something else. Peated high high. Comparable to the Laphroaig Quarter Cask. I'm on a boat — 6 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. — 7 years ago

If tar and rose petal are the stereotype, then I think I'm safe in calling this traditional. However, there's plenty of nuance in the layers and the style that make this special. An old leather-bound book, citrus peel, dried tarragon, and ripe strawberry. The finish is firm, but not without a lively and racy acidity. One of the better food wines I've had in a long while. — 7 years ago

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. — 2 years ago

First to admit I'm a wine snob and yes this is mass made wine. BUT I'm humbled. Paired with intensely flavorful Nepalese/himalayan this fridge-cold wine is absolutely perfect pairing. The light grassy note and medium acidity doesn't poke your spicy mouth, it resets and refreshes. By itself I wouldn't be excited. If I were a professional I would push this as an affordable glass that takes a back seat to make the meal Better. wow.! — 4 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! — 7 years ago
