Still alive and well. An excellent value.

Disregard the cellar tracker drinking window; This wine is drinking at peak! (if well stored) Merlot comes through as the dominant varietal. A high end 2000 is not that much better.

Dark ruby color without signs of bricking yet. Typical nose of briary fruits and stone with subtle pencil shavings. Similar on the palate with fruit, some spice, minerals. Sweet tannins. Lovely wine. Not incredibly complex but well rounded and delicious.

From magnum. Very enjoyable and I believe at its apogee. This has some cherry fruit and floral notes but also leather and earth. Everything is nicely influenced by age. Excellent QPR at release price.

The merlot really stands out, giving it a round, still fruity and fairly dense character. A minor wine in a big year - always a good recipe for early drinking. 3-5 years more life but with this delicious dark fruit and balance, no need to wait.
