Saturday, October 14, 2023 - Did not give this the respect it deserved.

Strong expression of Pessac-Léognan terroir, including scorched earth. Delightful varietal expression. Appealing violets and blackberry top notes.

The wine tastes like it smells. Excellent structure, alcohol comes through prominently, presenting a minor balance issue. Food helps mitigate the heat.

Based on this experience, recommend holding bottles for three or so years. Otherwise, if drinking in the near term, a 4+ hour decant seems in order. Excellent QPR!
