  Opened and tasted over the course of several hours. Pours very dark. Big, intense blue fruit and oak on the nose. Also noted where plenty of baking spice and chocolate. Rich and almost creamy on the palate, but thoroughly enjoyable. Hedonistic, yes, but with a hint of acidity to attempt reigning in the sweet fruit and wood flavors. While not normally my style, I really liked where this was.

  Really enjoyed this, a bit of a modern style, but a p,easier to drink. Good qpr of course. Let the others sit a while longer

  Solid QPR. Bold fruit with herbal and menthol notes. A little flat on the finish but overall good.
