D+0h: a tiny bit of deposit in the filter and also in the bottle, smells of blackberry and raspberry D+3,5h: purple red colour, smells of blackberry, violets and eucalyptus, has a little bit of residual sugar, so not completely dry, smooth in the mouth, medium body, in the mouth blackberry, violets and raspberry, in the aftertaste violets, blackberry and a little bit of acidity, good length (30 sec), good red wine, yet reminds me more of a Rioja than a Bordeaux, it’s kind of un-Bordeaux-like. With Bordeaux of that particular bottle age (six years) I would have expected aromas of forest floor or barnyard instead.

Wow. Better each time I drink this overperforming wine. Totally consistent with my last note but even better. Super-perfumed, high -pitched, cool, and in perfect balance. Peak in 2 years. Will be great for eight.
Encouraged by the positive notes here I opened a bottle and then a second one on the following day. I can only agree, the wine is ready to drink and delicious. Best QPR.

Ready to go now. Good stuff if you’re into Bdx, which I’m more and more convinced is not for me.
