  92+ Nice gold color. Bouquet of green apple, talc, hint of caramel, a hint of petrol. Bone dry with good acidity. But still there's nice fruit to keep it well balanced. Flavors of tart apple with some petrol along with talc and minerals and slate. Long finish. Drinking well now and it is transitioning into an older stage. Outstanding qpr. Based on the petrol notes if they become more prominent maybe it may be better to drink up sooner rather than later

  Wow! Even more impressive than the last tasting. As soon as I smell the wine I could tell it was going to be amazing. Still with a very dark color with minimal lightening around the edges. the bouquet is Heavenly with gobs of minerals, smoke, cedar, leather, tobacco, lead pencil. Dense and concentrated with extracted dark fruits, minerals, graphite, hands of chocolate, cedar, lead pencil, leather. Long finish. Along with the fruit it still has some tannins. This is really coming in to its own now. Outstanding qpr. For those who are fans of 2003 PC don't ignore the 2002 or 2004. Plus 2002 right now is far more complex and showing a lot more than the 2003. The 2002 is a perfect example of how sometimes the Vintage is that are not considered the best still sometimes age extremely well and show beautifully when it's from a good estate. Drink now to 2027, possibly longer

  I put flawed or defective because this bottle is from the current distributor and it does not taste like the bottles I have from the original distributor/importer who originally brought this in. I also found the same thing with the current importers versions of the 2014s from this producer. This has a slightly caramelized taste and flavor and notes to it that I did not have in the bottles that I originally got. I have another bottle from this importer and I will hopefully try it soon. That being said the one is enjoyable and pleasurable but certainly not as good as the original imported version. It still has good acidity and minerality but a slight caramel note. Therefore into my taste not as good as the originally imported bottles
