This is ready to go. It can develop a bit more, but I think it's in such a good stage that why risk it. It's got mineral notes, enveloped in a creamy texture with dirt and hints of herbs and a latte note that makes it cozy. Very enjoyable bottle. Great QPR.

Bottle was in perfect conditions, cork came out flawlessly. Decanted for 3 hours which seemed to help opening up the classic Bordeaux nose. Mature but lively. This still has a few years to go. It's definitely got enough substance to improve further.

Nice, mature Bordeaux aromas of cassis, toffee, pencil shavings. Somewhat earthy on the nose. Velvety and smooth on the palate, medium bodied, nice fruit, the tannins are still there, but quickly fading. Pleasant aftertaste. Drinks well now, will probably not improve further

Classic notes of 10 year old Bordeaux from a medium quality wine. Some bricking and an orange tinge on the wine - nose is white pepper, herbs. a touch of rasberry. Great feel in the mouth - the tannins are fading but still present to give this wine an aged but elegant feel. The fruit on the palate is a less well defined - definately time to start drinking this wine if you have any. Lacks depth of fruit to be a great wine, but for me this is how a mid-range 10 year old Bordeaux should taste - and shows the benefits of aging as well. Good balance, nice follow through.

Tout en finesse en bouche. Au nez, ce n'est cependant pas très expressif.
