Community Tasting Note

Thursday, January 24, 2008 - Translucent red with purple edges. On the nose is pure soft jammy fruit, with lots of raspberry and sour cherry. It opens up on the palate and some dusty oak and delightfully puckering powdery fruit pops out. Balanced, subtle, smooth and drinkable right now. Very nice and the QPR is hard to beat. 89

When I came back to this bottle a day later, it had opened up considerably. The toasty oak is more evident, but softer, and an upfront vanilla butter cream component has emerged. With a bit of decanting or some bottle age, this goes from good to excellent. 90
