Such a beautiful wine on its own and with the Cover Ribs from Allen Brothers. Beautiful fruit and earth. Merlot from any other place barks up St. Emilion ass. Pardon my French. Crazy outstanding for the $25-$30 I paid upon release. @ChateauIsbel

Still quite young, with some thick and chewy tannins. Lots of dark, ripe fruit along with mocha's. Solid if unspectacular

Nice blue and black fruits, star anise, leather, black earth, a little gritty on the finish. As well, a touch of brett.

I’ll give it an extra point just because of the QPR, excellent Wagyu Ribeye wine.
@David T Recommended bottle comes through again

Ripe fruit, tannins mellowing but still holding. Great balance

Silky, inky and drinking well (2005 vintage, opened February 4, 2019). A wonderful pairing with Chinese braised pork shoulder. As elegant as I remembered...

Merlot rich with Cabelnet Franc, but tannin can be felt and robust. Crude oil taste... but that should have said that it was green pepper's flavor.

Nice cedar nose, silky and bold black fruit on the palate with nice lingering finish. Nice wine for the affordable price !
