  - Brick color. It's overly acidic and has flavours of black pepper and smokey with a medium/full body. Round texture with a medium finish - Waited to long for this one!

  very nice - round cabernet with notes of blackcurrant and pepper, smooth tannins and kept getting better in the glass. A big hit with a wide variety of guests. Delicious with porterhouse

  We drank this bottle with prime rib after decanting for an hour. It was a beautifully dark wine. With no sign of browning and was very sturdy in the glass. The nose had dark cherry, a touch of fig and cassis. The cherry and fig remained when we tasted in addition to tobacco, leather and hints of green pepper. Overall the wine was very balanced and smooth with very low tannins. The bottle could continue to hold for 5+ years.

  Decent QPR, nothing too distinctive though
