Monday, November 10, 2014 - PnP it's all dark plum and berry flavours, almost stewed. Slightest touch of heat that is already blowing off after 2 minutes. There's something meaty and something herbaceous in here also but I can't yet place it. Palate is supremely well balanced and even has a bit of remaining tannic grit. Wow, this is one that will keep aging! I'm betting this will continue to open up nicely.
Over time the peppery qualities came out to match the fruit (which receded a bit) while the meaty quality just worked in there. Went nicely with braised lamb shanks.
Woot price for this is good QPR. Retail, not so much.
