Tasted from magnum. Holding up, but not likely to improve. It was pleasant, with round but subtle fruit, resolved tannins, and hints of graphite. Drink up, but likely able to keep for a while longer only in a large format. Consistent with previous tasting from approximately 5 years ago.

Lovely nose, generous red fruits and ample oak. Firm and tannic structure here with potential long life ahead. Red currant most prevalent note on the palate. Quite a nice bottle, great QPR. Hold until at least 2018, then will try again.
