A really delicious wine; medium body and translucent garnet, fading at edges,lovely aroma of rose, violets and pixie-stick; mouth filling balsam, vanilla, pithy sweet dark cherry and talc. Medium long soft finish with a bit of light mouth cleansing astringency on the finish. Excellent now, but can last several more years.

A full bodied round silky well made wine. Nice aromas of balsam and red fruits, a bit of asphalt in the mouth-filling predominantly red fruit flavor profile; new world style with a slightly sweet finish but still an old world wine with just enough complexity to keep it all interesting. Great QPR.

Dark garnet with very little lightening at edge. Nice aroma, though somewhat muted at this stage, lots of vanilla bean on the nose, black fruits, charred oak and chocolate and vanilla flavors, full soft mouth feel. Long finish. Round tannins. Very nice wine now will probably improve over next couple years.
