Dark ruby garnet with med-heavy viscosity in the glass. Nose of explosive cherry, raspberry, sweet oak, tobacco, pepper, black fruit, licorice, earth and BBQ. Full body and highly extracted with oak and heat dominating initially. A half-day later it opened up to stewed cherry, raspberry, black fruit, licorice, spices and earth. Tobacco and leather textures from the mourvèdre. Long finish. A bit monolithic for my taste, but a solid QPR.

A nice blend, complex, rich. Although it's considered a southern Rhone blend, I've never tasted anything from the southern Rhone quite as sweet. Very pleasant, medium finish, probably good with T-day type meals.

Awful bottle. Spoiled. Have had it in my cellar for several years. Not quite sure why it didn't hold up.

Great with lamb. It had a slight sweet flavor.

Dark Garnet color with white rim. Cherries, leather, spice on the nose. Same on palette with a little dry tannins. Long finish.
