Very nice. Nose to me is grass, flowers, earthy. Love the dark cherry look of it. Not huge on alcohol, tannins but still would drink again.

Wow. This is awesome. Has really settled down nicely. Tons of road tar, mushroom, and wet earth. A loamy finish. Medium- bodied, silky smooth.

Purplish in color. An enticing bouquet full of mushroom and roasted red peppers. On the palate, this is complemented by dried cherries and ample amounts of road tar and leather. The finish is loamy and mouth-puckering. Medium-bodied. There is a ton of potential here, but this is young and needs time to settle down. At minimum, needs a good decant; cellar time is preferable. But fear not; your patience will be rewarded.

Oak and dark cherries, with cherry tobacco notes. Tart berry notes of blackberry and peppers. Huge tannins. The finish is smoky and long. Fantastic qpr.

Needs more time in the bottle but a lot of promise.

Merlot is the dominating grape with  90% , 5% malbec and 5% petit verdot making up the blend; which is unusual for the Left Bank.
