I was hoping for a repeat of the 2013 vintage but it just did not deliver. Still the same great vanilla, oak, cherry and chocolate on the nose but the flavors to me seemed disjointed and did not mesh well together. After a few days open, got more old world flavors of earth, dark flowers and spices. My only hope is this bottle comes together in the future.

Very pleasant and excellent QPR. Lots of dark fruit, oak and vanilla. Some folks commented on it being over oaked. I didn't it find it unpleasant but could see where some drinkers would find it heavy on the oak. Nice long finish.

Followed an 03 Giscours that would have been ruined if it was drunk before. Dark fruit forward, big nose, medium finish
