This wine is deep garnet in color. On the nose, there are medium intensity scents of black current and black cherry. Secondary scents of charred wood are present, with a tad bit of leather.
On the palate, this wine dry with high acidity and tannins that grip like they dont want to leave. Alcohol feels medium dispite it's listed ABV of 15, and the flavor intensity is medium with dark, black current as the predominant flavor, followed by a bit of oak, violet and chocolate. The finish is long, but it fights with the tannic grip.
I had this wine with a seasoned NY Strip fairly quick after opening, and the steak calmed the tannins as expected. The following night, I had a glass alone, without food, and that tannic grip was intense.

Great QPR but overly oaky for me. A great wine for a crowd or event where wine is not the focus.

Good weekday bbq wine. Oak is a bit excessive but nice.

Very dark and rich as always. Perhaps a little less aggressive, softer than prior years needing a little less breathing. Same on day two.
