December 21, 2020 - Decanted 2+ hours. It has been over 4 years since last tasting this vintage. The wine has matured and you are really seeing the potential come through. Beautiful nose, wonderful juice. A really good Bordeaux style wine. Drinking nicely but still has lot's of life left if cellared properly.

December 13, 2020 - This wine continues to drink very well. Decanted 3 hours, notes of dark fruit, cassis, all well balanced with integrated tannins. Great mouthfeel and long finish. This wine is still pretty youthful.

November 28, 2020 - Almost black in color, matching the bramble nose. I get a little campfire and some vegetal notes. Palette is smooth and silky with nice acid. More energy than most QC. Feels properly right bank.
At the tail end of primary. -

April 14, 2020 - Not as good as I had hoped given $95 release price. This is the second non-CVR QCC i have opened and 2hrs decant is not sufficient. By the end there was promise, very fine tannin and fruit starting to come around. I think another 5+years is a good start.

February 29, 2020 - Popped this for Open That Bottle Night (on Leap Day no less). What a wine! Massive flavor, nicely integrated tannins, ample acidity, great mouthfeel. Flavors of cassis, plum and violets, with a nice earthy, chocolatey espresso finish. I could drink this all night (and I did)! Drink now - 2032.
