Wow, this is probably the best 2nd wine I've ever had. Complex aromas upon opening the bottle, accompanied with a classic st julien profile - full bodied, with a touch of cedar/plum and enough tannins to give a medium finish. Excellent wine when purchased soon after release, and I can only say why oh why I didn't get more! It might have probably just hit its peak drinking window but the structure suggests it can last a few more years. Very, very good QPR when it was bought over 4 years ago at Costco Novato for $32

This is to date the best Provenance wine I have tasted. Their 08 TK2 nor 08 Barrel select fall short compared to this. My first comment was this tasted like a young Pauilllac (has similar structure).

Medium to full bodied with a charcoal like taste and a medium finish. Absolutely stunning QPR for $16.
