Much better than my other bottle, which I didn't score because I suspected it may have been tainted. Floral bouquet. Cherry and plum fruit, a little sweet on the fruit for my tastes but still a nice drinkable blend.

After an hour in the decanter, this was a big, chewy, wild wine, showing mostly acids and tannins. Another 20 minutes in the glass allowed the wine to reveal a nice floral perfume, blackcurrant, blackberry, and oak spice. At 2:20 the wine relaxed, the tannins and acid receded, and black cherry, plum, and blueberry came to the fore, accented by patchouli incense. Altogether, this is a really nice wine, and it has the structure to run for years yet. Great QPR on this one.

started off with pure funk, blew off and blossomed into a nicely polished and mature wine - ready to go!

Very tasty Bordeaux blend. Can age for at least another few years.
