  Very good substance here. More rustic than finesse. Plenty of fruit and maybe a touch of iron. Medium+ tannin. This should age well for a decade but drinks very well right now too.

  Clear medium garnet. Nice mid weight nose, cassis, old furniture and red berry. Dry cassis, earth and spice flavours and a dry balanced light finish.
  
  Very nice nose and flavours but not much concentration. For $25 cdn how serious a wine would you expect. Great QPR.

  PnD let air for 3hrs.
  
  Classic and a solid step up from basic Bdx.
  
  Clear. Medium(+) ruby.
  
  Clean. Medium intensity with aroma of cassis iodine violet tobacco vanilla earth and anise.
  
  Dry. Medium alcohol. Medium(+) tannin. Medium(+) acidity. Medium body. Medium(+) intensity with flavour of cassis plum tobacco and anise.
  
  Medium(+) finish. Very good. Drink now suitable for further ageing. Lacks a bit of flesh in the middle. Tons of structure. Needs air and food. Pontifax nailed it.
