Records not handy. Bought 6b for 10-12/b 10+ years ago, likely online; this is #4. Good cork. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Dark purple; mature red fruit, some cherry; prominent cherry, turning a bit medicinal; good mouthfeel. Tasty, holding well for its age. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. Quality, age, price: Notable+.

Still excellent showing. Deep, bald, excellent length. My last bottle.

The nose is dark with tobacco, smoke and eucalyptus. Chewy, meaty palate.

Getting even a little better overall. The nose is dark with smoke and eucalyptus. Chewy, meaty palate with a nice hit of acidity, and moderate tannins at the end.

This has developed nicely. Compared to the bottle we had 2+ years ago, this has matured into a deeper, richer drink. The nose is dark with earth, eucalyptus and smoke. Fairly chewy palate, yet lots of bright fruit, an element of meat, a good hit of acidity, and lively tannins at the end. A very good QPR.
