  A touch rough around the edges immediately after opening, but some breathing time smoothed that right out. Plummy, jammy, a hint of sweetness, with notes of pepper (white/black, not green), rich and flavourful. Tannin, acidity, and alcohol weren't over the top or out of balance. Easy to drink and enjoy.

  Great QPR and worth the wait! Nose of red and black fruits (raspberry & blueberry) and cassis. Dark garnet rim and purple core. Well integrated tannins as the wine is in its perfect drinking window(for my palate). Only wish I had 3 more cases instead of 3 more bottles. Missed the '11 and sadly the '12, but will compare shortly with the '13.

  We enjoyed this both first and second day. Just the right amount of spice without being overpowering and an enjoyable finish.

  Not the rock star the 2008 was at this price point, but a very solid wine and decent QPR. Plum and white pepper dominate this somewhat monolithic offering. Better the 2nd day, will buy some more and see if it evolves at all.
