Community Tasting Note

92 Points

Saturday, July 13, 2019 - Decanted for 1 hour then poured. Tasted blind.
Clear, medium/deep ruby.
On the nose, this had blackcurrant, blackberry, (somewhat medicinal) herbs, earth, oak, green leaf, stems. Hints of green pepper and coffee.
On the palate, high acidity, full body, medium+ flavour intensity, medium+ grippy tannins, and a long finish.
A fresh and elegant profile, although the bitter herbal notes are rather dominant at this point. Strong fruit depth and I get the sense this should be better in half a dozen years' time.
Bordeaux-style. Very good QPR.
