Pours ever so slightly brownish-tinged deep ruby garnet. Blackberry and plum preserves, dusty leather, wet alluvial earth, bit of clove and nutmeg spice, green bell pepper, bit of barnyard-animal brett funk. Medium acid, tannins decently round, gently gripping. Would've liked juuust a bit more body/texture but honestly quite enjoyable, decent QPR for sure. First time I've had a red Bordeaux that is from a more specific appellation than just the general Bordeaux AOC. Will definitely have to explore right bank blends some more.

Dec 12th, 2015A great combination of what tastes to be strong consistent grapes. They certainly didn't throw a bunch of just any together. Quality, although rich in body - drinkable unpaired with food, at least for me. It's 2011, not a 2013 or 14.
