10/15/2022 - AussieRoddy Likes this wine: 90 pointsStill going perfectly well. Some early must and vinegar blew off after a 45min decant, and left a very well balanced and delicate wine with a little grenache pepper still poking through... thang god, this was the third i opened on the night, a 1999 Bordeaux and 2014 Rhone were both gone, turps.... this saved the day. |

9/22/2021 - vinodolphin Likes this wine: 92 pointsShould have drank this by my schedule 2 years ago but dropped through the cracks. Still wonderful. Less tannins but smooth as can be. One bottle left and I hope it is good too. |

3/29/2020 - TallMikeWine Likes this wine: 94 pointsOpening nose of dusty violets, earth very black fruit. Fairly reticent on the attack at first. Then things opened up, a half hour in I'd say. The blue fruit and acidity of the Petite Sirah came a callin'. Plenty of stuffing left here for another few years. Full and rich, like most things under the talented hand of Ben Glaetzer. Very tasty. |

3/2/2019 - wgmccallum wrote: 90 pointsViolets, prosciutto, stems, and red fruit on the nose. Nice concentration of sweet and sour juice on the palate with a deft aromatic acid touch at the back. Good with birria and green salad. 50 + 16 + 16 + 8 = 90. |

1/12/2019 - wgmccallum Likes this wine: 91 points[2 day old bottle] Faded but still generous aromas of red cherry, black pepper, dried flowers. Sweet core of penetrating fruit on the palate, clear acid lattice at the back supporting a long fruit-driven finish. Really a lovely concluding wine for the evening with comte and roquefort. 50 + 17 + 16 + 8 = 91. |

12/10/2017 - FlyPig Likes this wine: 93 pointsIn a great place right now, at peak after 2 hours open, sustained through next day. High viscosity, chewy tannins, dark fruit pronounced but well integrated, cocoa, touch of cardomam, really well made wine. |

11/20/2017 - vinodolphin Likes this wine: 92 pointsAs good as I could have hoped. Next two bottles should improve even more. Too bad my next one is in 2019. I'm sure it will be worth the wait. |

8/31/2017 - zut alors! Likes this wine: 89 pointsMuch better than three earlier tastings (you can refer to two comments I made). The sulphur taste has completely dissipated. Opened 0ne hour prior to drinking. Now is drinking like a luscious full-bodied berry-filled grenache. Yay! |

7/26/2017 - Quiet Lion Likes this wine: 91 pointsMonthly Men's Wine Dinner (Brunswick & Hunt): Interesting McLaren blend of Shiraz and Petite Syrah. This benefited from air, as it started off thin with a strong raspberry note and put on some weight throughout the evening. #3 of 3 for me and for the group. |

7/9/2017 - vinomex wrote: 90 pointsPleasant, a lot more evolved but not necessarily better than one of the bottles I had back in 2013. Consistent with my note back in 2/17, I don't know if more cellaring will make this wine better. Drink up and enjoy! |

5/6/2017 - PDXinSEA Likes this wine: 88 pointsNeeded some air to flesh out. Shows some fading fruit, but has cranberry notes that I find quite appealing. A slight alcohol burn dissipated with time. With an hour+, this put on weight and a spice note complemented a Mediterranean roasted eggplant with onion, chiles, and lemon. At under $16, this was a fine QPR Garagiste buy. |

2/3/2017 - vinomex wrote: 91 pointsSolid QPR at 30 bucks, but we dranked this after having had a '07 Jaffurs Upslope the night before. It was too high of a bar to follow suit. The Imprimata is a good wine, though, nowhere near the richness, elegance and complexity of the Upslope. Also, I don't know if age has truly helped this wine. The bottle I had back in 2013 seemed much better. Nonetheless, a solid 91. |
