First bottle of the last OC-12. Cork in perfect, almost new condition. Shoulder fully covered with sediment. This is still soo good! Fully mature CB. Everything is in harmony. Pure velvet. I would still rebuy this vintage today if there were any bottles left in the market.

PNP. First bottle of an OC-12. This is really good stuff at an attractive QPR.
Addendum: on the second day still strong and enjoyable, even with less fruit. Very few sediment (on the shoulder and with the last glass). Cork was fine (only 0,2 mm soaked).

Agree with comments below. Very serious wine punching well above its reputation/price point. Excellent concentration and breadth, a lot of gravitas and that slightly dusty, austere sensation both in the bouquet and the flavor. Wished I'd lucked into this as a future because it is case worthy and should age well. Would look for this in other/future vintages.

Excellent QPR. Drinking well - good 05 vintage wine that was inexpensive.
