Pretty good QPR on this after a few years of age. Still has a tannic grip, but some of the secondary aromatics typical of Bordeaux are starting to show through. Fruit flavor may die off before the tannins are fully resolved, but good for a few more years at least.

Opened this bottle and drank it with friends. found it quite pleasant but nothing to brag about. The wine had an earthy taste to it and was easy enough to drink.

After an hour the nose opens up revealing cherry, tobacco and even a slight gamey note. The tannins dominate the palate, has good acidity, and dark fruit which combine for a long finish.

Dark, solid red brick colour; slight purple on edges. Blueberries on nose maybe even a meaty note with a slight tabacco. Big tannis with balancing acidity. Nice dryness with a touch of oak. Long length. Peppery, black fruits and leather.

Difficult to do it justice. Somehow diluted. Is it meant to be like this or not?
