  Still drinkable after 4 hours decanting

  Decanted and consumed over six hours
  Deep ox-blood colored, full bodied
  Tertiary nose notes. Leather, black tea, old wood, dusty,, iodine, pencil shavings
  Dry, tastes like the nose. Some plums off the back end. Well balanced. A well made wine. QPR is too high IMHO.
  
  Steak and chicken wings...

  I'm seldom wanting to drink wines like this anymore, but when I'm craving one, it certainly scratches the itch. With additional air, more soil notes emerge to balance out the big ripe black/dark red fruits. Avg+ complexity and finish. Seems in a good spot now, but has time in hand, too. highly recommended

  Dark inky purple, full bodied wine
  Dark fruit, earthy notes, pencil lead, cigar box
  Nicely balanced. Still a good amount of dark fruit on the palate.
  Medium finish. Maraschino cherries. Thick, sticky goodness.
  
  Very happy I finally cracked a bottle. Definitely at its peak. Lovely wine and a great QPR in comparison to its French and American counterparts.
