Our weekend with this producer (or at least we'd had the '59 the night before). This was in excellent condition but did seem to suffer a bit from the less than stellar vintage. It's a solid Bordeaux. More secondary. There's a bit of mustiness right out of the gate, but that blows off.

Fully mature. No deposit in the bottle. Drank very light, particularly in the beginning, but revealed more power as it opened up. Bright acidity. A little disjointed but pleasant to try.

Last bottle out of three. Turned out to be the most mature bottle however the first to declare as past its prime. Again, this wine reminded me to a St. Julien, but more importantly, to a good bottle of aged burgundy. Very clear in colour and taste. Very little, almost none depot.

Not as good as the first bottle. very top shoulder. initially disappointing, however, such an improvement with only a 15 min decant. Would have given a 93+ but fair enough to give 94p. Worth to look after if you like a mature elegant cabernet. Excellent QPR.
