With additional age this wine has continued to improve since my last bottle, tasted aprox 15 months ago. Subtle nose of fruit (but I get TONYSMITH72's comment about ethyl acetate - there is something there, I'm not just sure its that, but its something). Its still smooth, with a nice dusty red fruit and earthy palate. Not particularly savory or tobacco-y. Balanced, medium weight. Easy to drink and like. The restraint here is notable.

This drops a point from my last ratings. Still a fine quaff. Not quite as complex as I remember, but the cherries, smoothness and balance are still spot on. Just wish it had a bit longer length. Must try this with food. I always seem to drink this solo. A great QPR for sure.

Great nose. Smooth. Not big but well structured. Drinking very well.
