  My sixth bottle with mostly low scoring. Felt this bottle was out of condition hence indicate flawed.

  Medium nose with notes of wet leaves, spices, toast, dried black fruits. Medium acidity and tannin. Will not improve further. Drink up.

  Still viable. Took 45 minutes to balance out once decanted but then was soft, mature and lovely for about 90 minutes before starting to decline. Quite light and not too Mouton-like but lovely nonetheless for a wine this old from a minor vintage.

  Drank over the course of a couple hours incl. grilled veal chop dinner. Quick decant for sediment. Notes of leather, umami, smoke, salt, black currant, blackberries, pomegranate. Got better and better as the night wore on. A great example of what a top winemaker can do in an OK vintage. Great QPR at auction!
