  Sublime. I bought these 31 or so years ago and stored them properly, hoping I would get to drink them when they were ready. They’re ready and it’s beautiful. It may last at this level for another 10 years but the human race doesn’t look like it will. Drink ‘em if you got ‘em. It can’t possibly be any better.

  Definitely mature, but still vibrant. Can’t say this is good QPR anymore. There are better wines out there for what this costs today…but it has lovely tertiary Nebbiolo scents and it’s as smooth as ballbearings on the palate. Damn, that bouquet is beguiling. I would surmise there are about a dozen years before the fruit is subsumed by the wood and alcohol. Drink’em if you got’em.

  The nose is well balanced and seamless with tones of dark red cherries, raspberries, dusty notes, licorice, dried roses, earth, some oak, wood spices, tobacco, and worn leather. The Full bodied feel is well balanced and layered with crisp, high acidity and refined, medium+ tannins. The structure has peeled back and this is either right towards the top or right on the long road down. This threw some sediment and took a few swirls to really express itself.
