Drinked it on two days. The first one, tasted a little bit two rough, tannins were strong, it was ok. I was almost thinking that I had vinegar aftertaste. It was a 87. Second night, not the same wine at all. I jad the wood, plum, grapes, was really smooth, not silky but I could enjoy a quality wine. It’s a 90
No, this wine is not over the hill, maybe nnot even on top of it

Nice, medium bodied, balanced. Has a mature Bordeaux profile: leather and earth. Nice drinking. Had much more fruit 2 years ago, but I like it better now overall.

4/9/2016 rated 89 points: Cassis, plum, spice and oak notes are there but it's a tad thin and short. Not bad QPR though and has 5 years. (1856 views)
Well, I waited 4 and that was just about right. 1 hour decant and I'm giving it one extra point for being nicely resolved. On plateau, drink this year.

Maybe my view benefits from low expectations but I found this surprisingly good. Clearly, Merlot driven. But nice fruit and soft. Wish I had more. I don’t think there is reason to hold it longer.

Aromas of black plum. Still some tannins; very drinkable now but no hurry.
