92-94. As I said in my note on the '12 Chandon SLB Lavieres, the Camus initially came off as somewhat taciturn and unyielding, compared to the former's open, beautifully scented elegance. BUT, the Camus-B did have more power, and a deeper, richer mouthfeel. Tonight, the 5th night they have been opened, the Chandon has turned, but the Camus is still drinking well. I think they are both excellent, especially for their QPRs, but my money is on this one to develop in a more classic fashion.

This was quite nice at times, disjoined at others. Probably drinking too soon to get a good read. The 12 was showing less heat than the 11.

3/27/2015 - essconsults Does not like this wine:
NR -- Unfortunately corked. It seems that there is, in general, a lot more bottle variation with 2012 RBs. Shame
