  Massive tannic structure. Classic flavour profile but in my opinion needs time

  Really nice fruit left, with some tertiary notes developing. No rush to drink this though. It has everything needed to age another five years at least.

  Decanted for 45 minutes then consumed over 2 hours. A modest and pleasant right bank with dark red fruit notes and healthy dose of glycerin that carries the wine sweetly over the palate before finishing with a faint touch of oak. This is ready for business. A couple more years may bring additional nuisances, but I’m not waiting.

  This was much better than the last bottle. This had 2+ hour decant as opposed to the 1 hour decant that preceded the last bottle I drank. Not terribly complex, but classic bdx elegance with a healthy dose of glycerin. Good QPR.

  This is still primary. After an hour decant it was still rather hard and the tannins were grainy. I'll try a longer decant next time and report back.
