Thursday, February 1, 2024 - Wow- another spectacular bottle that improved over the 2 hours it was opened. Lovely deep clear ruby, looking vibrant and healthy. On the nose was heathy blackberry and dark cherries and then all that Pomerol complexity of tea, leather, tobacco, soil, truffles, chocolate (which got richer and darker as it sat in the glass). No rough edges on the palate but still so fresh and uplifting. Wonderful medium bodied wine (in a good way!) and all the flavours fan out over the palate with a delightful length and finish. Exceptional QPR if you ever see this at auction or if you are lucky enough to have this in your cellar. Still have 3 bottles to go and each one has been a revelation! Drunk with good swim friends on a random Thursday night at home over minestrone soup, pork chops, and a fabulous Thai mango sticky rice dessert. With T&P, S&H.
