I had kept this bottle for a while as I couldn't quite make out when to open it based in the quite variable tasting notes on Cellartracker. Popped and poured. Healthy cork and colour. Dark and full-bodied. Good balance and excellent taste but certainly not worth the way too high cost.

A bit astringent upon opening. After 3 hour decant, softens up and drinks really nicely. Not sure it will improve from here. Agree with comments on poor QPR.

Decanted for an hour. Impressive on the nose with screaming floral scents and blackberries. On the palate. This is full bodied, elegant but a bit too astringent. Excellent but way overpriced.

Heavy, brooding fruit, but this bottle a little lifeless. Wearing out?

Luxurious dark fruits, medium to heavy body, mature tannins. Not good QPR.
