Saturday, March 6, 2021 - Decanted for about an hour.
Dark red colored, slight amount of light browning on the edges, otherwise looks relatively young.
In contrast to some other tasting notes, the nose was fairly muted, I picked up some faint red fruits and that was about it. Much more powerful on the palate, lots of black cherry, red currant, cedar, pipe tobacco, and spice. The palate has a nice level of intensity and juiciness with plenty of acidity, but it’s still pretty tannic. Finish is pretty long here as well.
Between the primariness of the fruit and the heavy tannins I’d say this is probably 10-15 years away from peaking. Excellent wine and an outstanding QPR at around $25.
