Opened the bottle 6h before and decanted for 1h. Opened up nicely while getting room temperature. Nose of black fruits and plum. First sip reveals freshness and well integrated tanins. Black fruits, mushroom. Not too complex, but we enjoyed it with beef filet steak.

Not bad, not excellent - something in between. Fair weight and concentration, a bit of structure, agreable use of wood. Mid-weight (maybe a bit more than usual), but still very smooth.
Actually it changes quite a bit in the glass even on day 2. In its better moments, a solid if not spectacular Bordeaux (88-ish), in the weaker ones, rather flat and trivial.
So - in average 87 points for me, and 16,50 EUR for this quality is... well, not outrageous, but surely not a QPR-champion.

This one has developed beautifully and shows intensity and depth. Very meaty with typical ripe Merlot at this stage.

A sound wine, almost good - had me yearning for a classier Bordeaux with more concentration and complexity. No harm in drinking now.

Very nice, but quite young. Could probably benefit from a few years in the cellar.
