  Really drinking well and an excellent QPR wine. We recently acquired this single bottle as part of a much larger cellar contents acquisition and really wish we had more. Completely mature so time to drink up any holdings, no further upside to cellaring but will also last well at peak for several more years with proper cellaring. Surprisingly big and fruit forward - the merlot and sangiovese really shine through, the Cabernet not so much. Very dark, well structured, good mouth feel and a very long lingering aftertaste. Initially nose somewhat muted then dark fruit and red berry came through. Palate of oak, blueberry, dark cherry and surprisingly spicy on the late palate. Highly recommend.

  Old Bordeaux at La Fonda del Sol (NYC): Poured blind before we got into the Bordeaux. It's rich and quite ripe with a sappy plummy fruit and black cherries and a minty/herbal topnote, but there's also bright acidity beneath keeping it fresh and light on its feet. Very tasty.

  Lots of dark colour still. Smokey dark chocolate & sour cherry with good acidic lift & still evident tannins. Drink up.
