Another very good bottle. Nose of fresh blue fruits, blueberries, bacon fat, lavender and wet hemp. It was a last minute decision so it only got 3+ hours of air. It just kept getting better and better as it sat in the glass. This wine can age for many more years so I’ve tucked 6 deep in my cellar to see how it is in 5-7 years. Love this.

Very full body, opaque as they come, but oddly devoid of full flavors. All of the mouthfeel of ripe, extracted fruit. Muted violet and dried cherry palate, fast attenuating finish

Amazing QPR! Seriously complex nose, minerals, garrigue, earth, smoke and spice. Spicy on the palate, good tannin structure albeit a bit grainy. Medium bodied.

Dark purplish deep red. Nose is screaming dark fruits hot rocks lavender sachet and bacon fat. It’s like drinking a dark fruit crumble with cherries plumbs tart Granny Smith apples and finishes with kick of tannins that keep it very fresh. Obviously very young but fun to drink now and I’m sure it will develop over the next 5-10 years.

Ken's Dueling Northern Rhones (Ken's Castle): Dark fruits and minerals on the nose. Chalky tannins on a spicy finish. This is hitting real nice. Finished 1 of 3, my 2 of 3.
