Opened 6 hours before consuming. Filtered into decanter as there was a huge amount of sediment. Aroma of sweet black fruit, spice, chocolate and vanilla. Raspberry and black cherry, spice and buttery vanilla on palate. Velvety tannins. Decent acidity. The fruit is amazing. Long, smooth finish with a hint of cedar. Great QPR.

This ended up being far better than expected.
Rounded body with moderate tannins and strong Napa fruit. (6.5/10)
Nice nose and dark red body. Almost too drinkable and fruity.

Consistent with 11/1/14 notes. Vinturi and no decant. Took 1/2 hour to open.

Great QPR! Some might call it a little fruity. But, I felt that it had enough additional notes of spice and tannins to provide a quality product.
I Pnp'd through aerator with sieve, since it is throwing off a lot of sediment. Then I served immediately. Really good.
