  Looked youthful with no orange or bricking in the glass, still some structure and tannins left, unfortunately the fruit is completely gone. No score.

  I was pleasantly surprised by this wine. Day 1 was a dollop of red fruit and well balanced and integrated tannins. Day 2 was more classic aged Bordeaux with some cedar notes, complex fruit undertones, wonderful balance and a smooth medium finish. Day 3 was on the down side with the fruit pretty well gone, the complex tannins starting to become monolithic and the finish a bit harsh. Great QPR.

  Pretty uninteresting and even a bit boring. Lots of vanilla and tar, but can't get any fruit here. Meh...

  I think this is the last of the case. Had a great run the last 10+ years. Wished I had taken notes!
