Still powerful with sufficient tannin and acidity; the somewhat jammy fruit does not show clear signs of aging. Can live 5 - 10 years more but will never become real friendly.

Decanted 2 hours. Cassis nose with hints of saddle leather continues across the palate, which is focused precisely. Texture is seamless, the tannins integrated throughout, with a silken mouthfeel. The finish lingered as the tannins reasserted to tie the whole experience together. Quite lovely with dry aged rib steaks.

My second to last bottle of the. Decanted for about 45 minutes. Was good then but got much better after an hour after that -- some slightly harsh tannins on the front end at first opening, but after an hour and a half was smooth and you could really taste the dark fruit with a nice finish. Only downside is it's no too complex. Still a great QPR in my book. Probably need to drink this up before the next few years
