From magnum Benefitted from being opened three hours before dinner. Still tasting young with some initial acidity standing in the way of cherry-dominated fruit. Real pleasure after 4-5 hours when the bottle opened up. Good stuff, great QPR. Should easily last another five years

Fleshy with ripe fruit is never something I thought that I'd write about a St Estephe of less than 10 years old....but perhaps that's a 20th century stereotype now. This wine is a in a very good place right now. Rich deep red in colour with no browning at all and very little sediment. Tannins were more noticeable on day 2, and fruit less so. Still very nice, but probably needed food more on day 2 than day 1.

A ruby colored wine with great clarity this wine has notes of Cedar, bitter baking spice, baked blackberry, crumble, vanilla, gravel, white pepper, currant, blueberry and leather. The personality of this wine is Jammy, tannic, and raisin like with a velvety mouthfeel. Drink now - 2030.

Red currants, tobacco leaf, espresso, and flowers are at the core of this medium-bodied, forward, easy-to-drink wine. Drink from 2022-2033.
