Popped and poured and this was a beauty. Weightless on the palate with earthy tobacco, red fruit and green pepper notes. Brilliant QPR and I'd say these are ready to drink now and will continue to drink well for a decade or more.

Based on previous bottles, my hopes weren't high, but I chose to open it because of a food choice that would pair well with a Cabernet Franc from the Loire. Medium-light, smooth, scented, red fruits. Boring but correct. Cellared since original release.

What a nice wine, extracted, but not syrupy- floral, fruity, peppery nose. Bright acid crunchiness, med-full in the mouth. Still very youthful, but better composed than when first purchased. Loads of pepper, green herbs, black and red fruits in the mouth. Med+ acid Med- tannin. Lovely wine.

Dark fruit (black cherry, blueberry), spice, floral, tobacco/ nice herb, pepper, good acidity. Smooth. Good acidity. Lingering finish.

Spicy, dense dark fruits, smooth texture, but ultimately no great complexity. Cellared since original release.
