January 16, 2015 - Four years since I last tasted this, and it is much better now. The tannins are more resolved, the dark, pruney fruit is evident without being overpowering, and there is a nice long finish with a bit of kick. It needed about an hour in the decanter to be at its prime. Now ready to enjoy, much like a Bordeaux, including a bit of sediment.

June 25, 2012 - South American Tasting (Jan's House): Nice integrated wine with earth, coffee beans, blueberries and floral notes. Medium finish and drink now.

December 15, 2010 - Blackberry notes, on the tart side, with fairly pronounced tannin covering the other fruit flavors. One senses some good, complex flavors hidden in this tightly structured wine, but I think I'll let it sit for a few more ears before trying it again.

September 29, 2010 - We really enjoyed this wine. The nose is plum with a bit of cherry, vanilla and even some figs. The taste is initially neutral, not a feeling of fruit, alcohol or spice, more of a bit of a mineral tang. But, that doesn't last long, the aftertaste and the growing taste is a wonderfully strong and nicely balanced set of peppers, coffee, and plums. We felt it was a very smooth, balanced blend, low on tannins, with a velvety mouth feel. The color is ruby red. It's 13.5% alcohol and a mix of 55% Carmenere, 30% Syrah, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon (as pointed out already by others). This was excellent QPR and well worth getting again.

August 8, 2010 - nice nose, full, complex flavors when first tasted. Did not seem to develop much in the course of the evening. I reserve judgment from this tasting -- good, but not quite as good as I had hoped. Will try again after a bit more cellar time.
