Brick red color. Nice developed Bdx aromas with leather and sweet oak. The mouth feeling is rather sweet and extracted, with a bitter/woody finish. Too much oak.

ripe plum, new oak, smoke, cherry cough drop, and a bit of creme de cassis/currant jam on the nose. soft and low acid but balanced--mostly savory in the mouth with the ripe fruit and new oak taking a backseat.
nice degree of development in play all around.
the wine really sings with food and great QPR/success for 2011. curious to check in my 2011 Margaux's for comparison

D+0h: medium deposit in the filter and quite some deposit in the bottle, smells indefinitely of black fruits (maybe raspberry) D+4h: dark as ink, on the rim slightly purple red, smells of blackberry, smoke and eucalyptus, medium body, smooth in the mouth, dry, but not in a tart way, in the mouth blackberry and raspberry, in the aftertaste blackberry and smoke, good length (30 sec), nice and tasty Bordeaux.

Fragrant but very simplistic on palate with notable bitterness.

I think this has improved a bit. Very smooth and soft tannins, good fruit and nice finish. Much less edgy than i remember from past tastings.
