At CdB HK dinner. Paired with the Dom de Chevalier, this was hands down the winner. Creamier cherry fruit notes, more glossy and fruit seems riper and fuller, Some St. Julien notes of soil and leaves which is very interesting and complimentary to the dark cherry and blackberry fruit at present. Lovely mouth feel. Yes young and vigorous but all in balance. Cashmere tannins and lovely medium plus body and finish. Delicious now and exciting future ahead. Very respectable QPR.

This has improved significantly in the three years since the previous bottle
and while there are still some tannins to resolve, this has black fruits, good density and some refinement and should continue to improve.

62% cab sau, 30% merlot, 6% cab fr and 2% PV. Still a very closed wine. Intense aroma with a lot of fruits and black berries. Full body wine on the palate, cigar, dry. Long plummy finishing. One to jeep for another 10yrs at least.

Something odd on the nose - like the smell of an empty freezer. This disappeared quite quickly with air - I suspect it was the enomatic machine? Dense, rich nose with dark fruit and oak. Lovely on the palate. Tannins well integrated already. Medium full body. Medium finish. I would say this is at the start of its drinking window and supports my contention that 2014 left banks are really really worth buying.
