Beaucoup plus agréable que la bouteille bue il y a deux ans. Le bois est mieux intégré et laisse la place à des notes balsamiques. Les tanins se sont assouplis. Début de légère notes tertiaires. À boire donc sans trop tarder surtout qu'il est à son apogée maintenant.

Two independent scores of 90. To the nose, black cherries, blackberry, slight plum or boysenberry, with white pepper and more spice. On the palate, dark fruit (black cherry, black raspberry, slight cranberry) over red fruit. White pepper with cinnamon and very slight earthiness. Some leather that disappeared as warmed 60F to room. Tannins are slight and stringy, with only slight structure. Med mouth feel, med length. No after tastes. Very good overall although maybe past prime?. Great QPR and will look for newer vintage.

Clear garnet to the edge. A bit of VA that blew off in first 15 minutes (I was worried for a moment) Nose of red fruit, cherry and currant. Light to medium body with good acidity. Nice, tart cherry with a nice bit of tannin yet. Medium finish.

Un peu tannique avec une finale courte et chaude. Correct sans plus.
