Dark fruit, bandaid, astringent, euchalyptus aromas. Medium body, mild polished tannins, gentle acidity. Dark fruit and forest floor flavors. It’s good just not amazing. Not a lot of tertiary notes yet, perhaps they’ll develop over some more time?

Enjoyed over two consecutive days with food; grilled lamb chops on day 1 and chicken cordon bleu on day 2. Similar to my experience back in late 2016. Red currant, ripe cherry, spice, mocha, herbs and dark earth. Structure is still evident, but the fruit started to fade on day two. Medium finish. It seems like this still has another 2-3 years more before it starts to fade.

Excellent Bordeaux for the price range. Nose is cherries, currants, earth, tobacco and palate is smooth and balanced. Finish is medium. At it's prime. Good QPR

Last bottle 5 years ago...almost forgot about this bottle. Was looking for something to pair with my pot roast on a snowy night. Splash decant, drank over 90 minutes
From prior notes: "Dark purple/red color. Nose of dark fruits, black cherry, fennel, faint eucalyptus. Rich palate of dark fruits, licorice, blackberry, tobacco. Long finish..."
Has softened a bit from memory. In a good spot and still drinking well. Air time helps, improved in the glass. Would drink over next 5 years. Great QPR.

Opened up after 2 hours and was great. Drink it now, it does not have much shelf life left.
