i really like thick, viscous and rich syrah -- and this cuvee gets the nod big time. definetely requires decanting and some air. this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but those who like a 'huge' style will enjoy -- and the qpr is terrific

agree with Moonfuzzy who wrote: "Yummy rich wine with raisin overtones"... but i give it 92; i enjoy the viscous style, but not for everyone. superior QPR.

agree with previous comments: opened several bottles almost 2 years ago and was extremely down on this wine. some time in bottle has clearly added density... also agree that its optimal to drink this after a full or full-medium bodied varietal... after a syrah or cabernet. not a 'first bottle' by any means, but had advanced in bottle.
