I let this rest for a few years. One of my first wine-buys when i was chasing qpr... got lucky - a steal. Some development, but still very much alive. Liqourice, tobacco and some fruit and oak - all descernable. Maybe a bit hot. Got 5 years left in a decent cellar, I think (12°C)... adjusted the drinking dates accordingly.

Very nicely structured and balanced on the palate with rich fruit and laid-back oak. Somewhere between classical and modern style. Drinks nicely now but may be kept for many years. Crème de cassis, pepper mint, toasted oak, tobacco and liquorice.
