  Not usually a fan of younger Bordeaux especially without a lot of decanting but I liked this one quite a bit. Tannins were present for sure but well integrated into the cigar box pencil lead vibe. The usual dark fruits, slightly cooked (but pleasantly so). Quite extracted (which I like) and dense but not at all cloying — again the tannins are keeping it back. Like a heavily brewed plum iced tea.

  Trumpet’s review is accurate;
  
  Dark cassis fruits, velvet texture, well judged acidity. Not super digest due to the density of drying and dusty/powdery tannins. Quite nice but could be fresher and more elegant. Fruit noted but cooked/jammy? Quite extracted. Not bad but not great.

  Fresh nose of dark fruits, cigar box, scorched earth and floral notes. The palate is medium bodied, fresh tasting, with a good amount of fine but somewhat drying tannins. The high alcohol (14.5%) shows a bit on the back end, but they managed to mostly integrate it in the dense fruit flavors. The finish is fairly long.

  Did not give this the respect it deserved.
  
  Strong expression of Pessac-Léognan terroir, including scorched earth. Delightful varietal expression. Appealing violets and blackberry top notes.
  
  The wine tastes like it smells. Excellent structure, alcohol comes through prominently, presenting a minor balance issue. Food helps mitigate the heat.
  
  Based on this experience, recommend holding bottles for three or so years. Otherwise, if drinking in the near term, a 4+ hour decant seems in order. Excellent QPR!
