  Nose has smoke, plum, nutmeg, savory herbs, leather, a bit of noticeable oakiness, and cigarette ash. Palate has that plum, more toffee sweetness, oaky tannins that are noticeable but don't overwhelm the fruit-- which seems really deep and dark now. There's a stout beer rich sweetness that comes out with air. Beautiful wine. Finish is medium but just delicious. Hedonistic, beautiful, and even elegant. Really wish that I had left this wine alone for a few more years.

  I expected this wine to age beautifully, and it has. Nose has smoke, plum, nutmeg, savory herbs, leather, a bit of noticeable oakiness, and cigarette ash. Palate has that plum, more toffee sweetness, oaky tannins that are noticeable but don't overwhelm the fruit-- which seems really deep and dark now. There's a stout beer rich sweetness that comes out with air. Beautiful wine. Finish is medium but just delicious. Hedonistic, beautiful, and even elegant. Artisanal wine at it's best here.

  Fruit forward but with decent acidity and nice finish. Overall, fairly well balanced. Good QPR.
