I really liked this wine! Purchased 6 bottles 11 years ago from Trader Joe's for $13 ea. and this is the first one tasted since then.
Color: Deep ruby garnet with no browning. Very pretty Nose: Better the second night. Very intriguing olive, cherry, currant and vanilla scented bouquet. A touch of leather too. Very nice! Palate: Nice acid and fruit balance. Tannins completely resolved but doesn't seem at all on the decline. Flavors match the nose - mature black fruits, with an herbal undertone. Great QPR! Glad I have a few more bottles. Doubt this will get any better but very nice now and for the next few years.

This bottle wasn't as good as the last. Good, but definitely going beyond prime.
