(72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot. 14.5%) Kräftiges Rubinrot. Top Nase, komplex, tiefgründig, viel Tabak, krautige Noten, Süssholz, kühler Kamin. Im Gaumen konzentriert und kompakt, was für eine Dichte, dabei nicht plump, elegant, feinkörniges Tannin, wunderbare Säure. Im Abgang mineralisch, salin, finessenreich und ausgewogenen. Ein mächtiger Wein, der reifen kann. 2026-2042 (Januar 2024)

Slow-O two hours. A solid showing for what's now defined by many as a value wine. Contextually, of course, that's true. Sigh. A decent enough sense of place at present, but while this was enjoyable (thanks to all the freshness and tasty black fruits, etc), I consistently had the feeling this was keeping a fair amount close to the vest. I'd love to revisit in 5-8 years, as I think there are even brighter days ahead. recommended
Really good tonight. I feel like it is fruity, smooth with a reasonable finish. Given that I have finally pulled myself out of '09 pricing, this is a pretty good QPR.

Hit the spot. Just fine for the price.
