  Seems like I'm always facing into the wind (so to speak) and a contrairian. Uncorked for 2 two hours, then another hour in the decanter. A viscous wine with a pleasant aromatic nose. Dark fruit with a hint of chocolate and a lift of acidity for a very lingering finish with more chocolate. Did not detect any wood as described by previous reviewers. An outstanding QPR.

  Only adding a note because this bottle showed a bit better than the last. Still overoaked, but some fruit did show up. I see other notes indicating significant bottle variation, and this is one more for the pile.

  Much better than the first bottle. Kind of light in mouthfeel, but good wine.
