Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 7, 2008 - pop n pour:

colour: welchs grape juice. dark, purple, lighter miniscus.
bouquet: Nose full of dark plum, blueberry jam and blackcurrant, in that order. Some leather.
flavour: nice mouthfeel. surprising amount of structure here along with all the fruits - nice balance of acidity, fruit and tannic bitterness. Missing for me are the tobacco and cigar box, but it may be that this just needs some time to show it. Medium, pleasant finish.

I think this will age well. Great QPR, I'd be happy to serve this to friends and family.

after an hour decant: still lots of dark plum and cherry up front on the nose, more leather, tobacco and spice now. lots of fruit in my mouth, seems like more astringency now. Very juicy, little hollow in the mid palate, but overall nice flavours. I get more tobacco in the finish, which is still about medium in length.
