  I enjoyed this wine. Would agree with others of Cassis on the nose. Also got black berries on tasting and then the mid palate changed. I found it a good long finish for me. Will score 88.

  Cassis and cedar on the nose. Stewed cherries are the main fruit taste but what really is dominant is the oak. Nothing special and poor QPR IMO.

  Seemed to be a bit young, very closed in the begining (didn't decanter unfortunately) and palate didn't really come through. However opened up a lot after half an hour. Classic style based on the grape combinations - will win on aging a couple of years. Classic style with Cassis etc. Had it with the Tricentury, way behind, as not as elegant.

  Nothing special here. Nose of Cassis, along with some cedar and blackberries. Crushed Cherries come through on the palate with somewhat harsh tannins on the medium length finish. Tried to drink this on the second day and it was even worse.
