Hopefully a bad phase, but I really did not like this at all. Lush, high octane, loaded with cherry liqueur on steroids, which delivers a hot, syrupy finish. There were signs of some Margaux elegance creeping through on the second evening, but not enough. Yuk.

Very noticeably Margaux with a decade in bottle doing this a complete service and reaffirming the view that a Cru Bourgeois from a great vintage is always going to be an excellent choice for a quality glass of Claret. The tannin is still in evidence and the fruit is concentrated enough to give this a chance of being every bit as good in five years.

Very dark purple color. Nice bouquet on the nose. Light tannins. Good depth and complexity but on the moderate side. Maybe more than 10 years mellowed it! Enjoyed!

Decanted using a candle. Strong Dark Ruby color mild nose of cherry and anise. Muted palate predominantly cherry and managed tannins.

A decent wine and good QPR. That sums it up.
