Very Good after a brief decant. Good with a simple grilled steak. On the riper end with some cedar, still some oak sweetness, but nicely integrated. Solid modernish Bordeaux.
13% abv, I'd lean forward on that estimate

Liked. Deep Concordian purple. All the classic Bordeaux elements present and mostly balanced. Red and and some black fruit. Wood present but subtle. A little flint, salinity, and minerality. Lacked the depth I expected but still a very solid QPR. Good food wine. I would want to try other vintages. Don’t think it will be much better with time. Drink now. Did not find decanting needed except to reduce sediment.
