  Drinking incredibly well, very round, no brown edge, long finish and still has more life left. Wish I had more.

  Drink now but still has some life left.
  
  Smells of smoked beef jerky.
  Tastes of leather, meat, blackberry, some acidity so it has structure, cassis. Rich and mature.
  
  Happy this wine is still so good even 17 years after harvest.
  
  Cork was half soaked so probably would not hold out much longer.

  These have been great QPR, and still enjoying it tonight, but agree with comments that this is on the downslope and starting to fade a bit, and I'll be drinking my last very soon. Fruit's pulled back a bit, which is not necessarily a bad thing for a modern, plush wine like this, and it's still showing the dark fruit, graphite minerality, and dried spice notes, but it's clearly not built for any longer haul than it's done already and I'd suggest drinking up.
