Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 11, 2009 - Nice QPR. Very approachable, yet nicely structured. Nose was a bit tight, but showed gamey Mourvedre funk, chocolate, herbs, smoke and burnt caramel. Surprisingly polished and non-rustic palate, medium-full bodied. Definite high quality oak presence on mid-palate, classy, not woody. Dark fruit flavor. Some herbs and chocolate on finish. Long finish, too. Nice balance of acidity, soft tannins. Not as wild as I'd anticipated, rather a refined drink with mildly rustic character. Bet it'll age a while still, though. Opened up in the decanter.
