It has the remnants of a good wine about it. It's gone downhill in the last couple of years, but I kept one as an experiment, and glad I didn't hold more. No point in holding them longer if you have them, drink up, it's on the downside.

Better, it seems, than the last bottle. A bouquet of rich, dark berries lifts immediately from the glass and becomes more interesting with some time and swirling. The texture is raw silk and the flavours mouth-filling -- berries, notes of leather and smoke and possibly a hint of cardamon. The finish lingers as the tannins assert to complete the package.

Just OK for what I hoped for. I've had some bottles in the past that were quite exceptional from a QPR standpoint. No depth or complexity. It is always worth the test.

Aged 18 months in French oak (40% new). 14.5% alcohol. Recommended

More fruit than structure, but drinking very well, perhaps at peak. Drink now, very pleasant and enjoyable mid-week wine.
