What a difference 5 or 6 years of bottle aging makes! This luscious well-balanced iconic cab is ready to drink now and terrific with steak (and by extension, most traditional beef).

This is one of those elegant wines. It is medium bodied at best. But while the wine has the weight of a feather in the mouth, the flavors are substantial including cassis, currant, black cherry, and eucalyptus. Well balanced with noticeable rounded edge tannins and some oak hiding in the background, there is a long, friendly finish. Not a cheap wine, but quite satisfying. It’s not inexpensive but the in QPR, the quality balances the price.

Dense purple color. Full bodied. Black cherry fruit with Cassis and eucalyptius. This is an elegant wine. Very refined; no sharp edges. Extremely well balanced. Wow!

A lot of sediment and a bit on the vinegar taste. Perhaps a bad bottle.
