Not up to the standard set by the '05 and '06 but still great nonetheless. Dark fruit and lush. Gave it two hours of air but more will help. Great QPR then, but the current vintages price of >< $120 is pushing it.

Full bodied, nice color, nose and dark fruit with nice integrated tannins with secondary flavors. Drinking very well now but still has years left.

Still quite youthful, very much taste the hot growing climate in fruit intensity. Crowd pleaser

Coravain + 30 min. 2 years later, just as big, very pleasant, not a lot of nuance developing. Very enjoyable.
