PnP. Dark red fruit, blackberry, soft tannins, smooth on the palate. A little bit of spice during a medium finish. A really nice drinking wine at a really good QPR.

👍

2/11/21 edit - 30 minute glass decant today. Same impression as in August yet this time paired with KC style bbq pork ribs. Paired like a pig and slop, a pig and a blanket.....in other words, they went well together. :) (629 views)
