This wine is beautiful! I have not had a lot of experience with Bordeaux wines. Decided to open this now...2013 being a fair vintage for St. Estephe. Ninety minute decant. Great earthiness...plums..cherry..soft oak...smooth...Old World flair! Decent QPR...this was under $25!
Update...day two...after vacuum pumped and put in fridge. This wine has lost some ground....fruit hard to detect...leaning towards meh....at this point! Still...really enjoyable yesterday!!
