Drinking really well in 2021 (my last bottle and has evolved really well) Red fruit, pepper and spice on the nose, high acidity with very integrated sweet tannins on the palette. My points score stands up regardless of the great QPR

Never disappoints but the 2018 vintage is as good as any I can remember. Great claret at a great price, very rounded and lots of black fruit from the high merlot concentration

Decanted for 2 hours and opened with full expectation that it is a few years too early but very pleasantly surprised. Top class CB from a stand out year. Not complex but plenty of red and black fruit and well integrated tannins already.
