  7th of 12, opened 3 hours then splash decanted, perfect cork and level, developing nicely, at laid back, fragrant and nuanced end of spectrum, if more mid palate punch develops, worthy of an upgrade, limited upside, 8+ years. F (17.5).

  Going through my second case of this beautiful wine. 2 hour of decanting is necessary. Truffle, red fruit, and smoked fruit on the nose and palate. Very elegant and smooth with medium length and finish. One of the best QPR for a mature red bank bordeaux from a very good vintage.

  6th of 12, opened 2 hours then decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, rounding out nicely and showing more secondaries than last bottle in Oct 17, decent length and fruit intensity, fine balance of vintage, complex for right bank, upside, good for 10+ years. A perhaps mean F (17.5).

  Beautiful, elegant and complex bouquet with vanilla, cedar. some bell pepper and autumn impressions. Same on the palate, earth, mushrooms, oak, slightly sticky tannin, juicy berries and good complexity. The wine improved with more air tine. Ready now.
