shared with pat at selkirk manor. grabbed this bottle on impulse without having re-read last note posted by smudge4! indicating it could go further. i couldn't agree with him more. this wine was lsmft-round firm and fully packed. dark color. deep nose. luscious black fruit. lingering finish. stays in place for 45 minutes. in hindsight a great qpr. wish i had more. will go after more recent vintages.

Drinking beautifully now but has enough backbone to go another 3 to 5 in the cellar. Fruit and eucalyptus on nose, mint and fine tannin on finish. Wish I had more.

Big and bold without too much bite. Very fruity in a conked way. Current and plum.

Heavily bodied. Needed to breath for awhile to mellow the flavors. A good end to the year 2010. Very enjoyable.
