  Rounded smoky notes with light, silky, well achieved tannins and a very lasting aftertaste indeed.
  Undoubtedly a great Cabernet, alongside with the extroverted Montebello and the classic 707 from Penfolds…

  Perfection … cassis and currant fruits with licorice and spicy herbs … wonderful balance and long lingering finish.

  Still going strong with powerful tannins. Drank beautifully after an hour decant.

  Spectacular! My last fabulous bottle of this vintage was in 2020. Posted a new photo.

  The last of these and I am not sorry. Each one has been a disappointment - one of the worst QPRs I’ve bought in over 30 years. Untamed alcohol heat and a bombastic personality. It also had the misfortune of sharing the table with a 2002 Mouton Rothschild which was a gracefully mature and classic Pauilliac. I understand there are people who truly enjoy those gigantic Napa wines but I am not one. And don’t get me started on the wastefulness of the bottles.
