September 21, 2014 - Better on night 2-3, too closed up after opening even after aeration. Still not as good a QPR as the 2009. Based on '13 reviews maybe past it's prime.

October 3, 2013 - The wine is clear and bright with a deep ruby colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and developing, with medium intensity aromas of ripe blackberries, ripe strawberries, white pepper, green bell pepper and hints of anise. It's dry in the mouth, with a medium balanced acidity, medium fine grained tannins, medium alcohol, medium body and medium- intensity flavours of ripe blackberries, ripe strawberries, white pepper and hints of green bell pepper. The finish is of medium- length. An acceptable quality wine, its only remarkable virtue is its balance in the mouth, but it lacks aromatic complexity, the concentration is rather low and it's too short. Drink now, it can develop well over the next 1-2 years, but should not be kept much longer than that.
