Saturday, February 24, 2024 - half-bottle, splash decanted but quite a lot of sediment, brown tinge to rim, rich cassis and blackberry nose, has some depth and complexity but lacking real class, a bit robust / rustic, palate distinctly dry, a little harsh and mean, rather short, OK but actually disappointing for the château and year, not over the hill but also no great future potential, overall rather poor QPR but then 2005 was never great value because release prices were high, in retrospect I paid too much
