1hour decant, served at 60 F. Deep garnet color, slight bricking. Subdued nose of mint, bell pepper and earth notes. Smooth, silky palate after 13 years. Fading acidity. Big, savory cassis and more green bell pepper on the palate. Short finish with just a slight grip. Probably on the downside, but still pleasant.

Good QPR. Nice step up from a week night drinker without breaking the bank. Juicy dark red fruits and a bit of oak.

Tastes like a poor man's Caymus with less vanilla and a little more sweetness. Not bad.

Very young; Nice nose on the pore; needed an hour in the glass to open up fully; will rack the other 3 btls and try again in a few months.
