Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 20, 2010 - Drank a few nights ago. Very tight the first night - opened about an hour before I poured my first glass. Black cherry and some vanilla on the nose. An enjoyable glass of wine, but nothing special. I would have given it an 88 on the first night. Stored in my Eurocave SoWine for the next couple of days. When I tried it again, it had really opened up. The nose was incredible and the taste was quite mellow with an incredibly long finish. I would have given it a 92+ at that point. Finished the bottle the next night. It was starting to be a little muted, but still better than the first night. (92). All in all a very good QPR. I'm not sure that I'll wait very long to drink these - I'll just make sure that I decant for at least 3 hours before. I really think that this needs a couple of years in the cellar, but I really bought these as near term drinkers.
