Charcoal, oak, sage, smoke, dusty, lead pencil, black currants; wonderfully complex, decanted over 2 hr; get something a little different whenever I go back.

(40% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec, 13.5% Alkohol) Expressiv in der Nase, viel dunkle Frucht, Trockenkräuter, Koriandersamen, Zartbitterschokolade, Veilchen, sehr komplex. Im Gaumen gradlinig, knackig, frisch, dicht und doch leichtfüssig, feinkörnige Gerbstoffe, lebhafte Säure, das hat Schliff und Präzision, wirkt nicht überladen, hallt lange und würzig nach. Ein sehr gelungener Bordeaux, der sich seit der letzten Verkostung positiv entwickelt hat. Ab sofort bis 2035+ geniessen. (Januar 2024)

Classic medium + ruby. Nose: Med intense ripe raspberries and crushed rocks.
Palate: Med body, restrained integrated alcohol at 13.5%, already quite resolved smooth tannins. Super balanced between the on point fruit freshness and ripeness w/ sufficient but not obtrusive acidity. sweet black and red fruits are vibrant and energetic.
Of course youthful but so very hard to resist its charms right now. Great QPR.

Consistently a great wine several vintages, very read to drink - no need to hold further- recommend opening around 30 minutes prior, quite good - prefer to many higher priced Pauillac's etc

Soft and slightly flabby and very earthfull. I love the coffee and earth notes in Bordeaux, but this feels a bit exaggerated this year. Never the less, an excellent example and and introduction to Bordeaux. This is all ready to go! Drink
