Good stuff, drinking very well after a few hour decant. Typical Bordeaux mid-to-full weight but an interesting flavor profile - black plum, mocha, sweet leather, tar, Seamless, tannins are folded in, ready to go. Rustic on the nose and from a flavor profile standpoint, but new school in terms of mouth impact and texture.

Рубиновое. Много специй, перца черного, черные ягоды, бальзамика. Танин суховат, тело среднее, кислотность тоже. Чуть резковатое.

Repurchase and hold for 10 years. Possibly superb, otherwise just very very good and solid QPR.

This is less overripe than the 2015 and has a more classical cachet. Still is very extracted and oaky. Shows more balance and is very drinkable. But if you love classical claret you should pass.

Blackish robe and vanillin oak nose, fine tannins but its too extracted and syrupy, overripe. Drinks like a dey port and not like claret. Some might like it, not our thing.
