Very good wine. This is now 8 years old and drinking at its peak. Supple on the palate with that chunky mouth feel from the Monastrel and the plumpness of the Syrah. I’m giving it a 92. Fantastic QPR.

Needs time to open up at this point. I decanter for 3 hours before it started showing it's colors. Nice earthy tones of Cedar, tobacco and pepper. Clearly the fruit is there and shows a bit with dark berries and violets. This is a classic example of good old world juice. One thing I noted was that the initial attach was almost non existent. Mid palate opened up with time and finish is good hence the 90 point score

But again. Velvety mouthfeel. Dark fruit. Medium, pleasant tannin. Vanilla. Delicious
