  September 13, 2013 - I really liked this wine! Purchased 6 bottles 11 years ago from Trader Joe's for $13 ea. and this is the first one tasted since then.
  
  Color: Deep ruby garnet with no browning. Very pretty
  Nose: Better the second night. Very intriguing olive, cherry, currant and vanilla scented bouquet. A touch of leather too. Very nice!
  Palate: Nice acid and fruit balance. Tannins completely resolved but doesn't seem at all on the decline. Flavors match the nose - mature black fruits, with an herbal undertone. Great QPR! Glad I have a few more bottles. Doubt this will get any better but very nice now and for the next few years.
