Enjoyed with a friend at a nice Italian byob. Deep deep purple soft legs. Nose comes out strong with black fruit some hints of tobacco and chocolate. Just when you think here comes a fruit bomb a nice balance of acid, soft tannins brings it back. Soft enjoyable finish. It’s ready now I would decant there was a lot of sediment. Went well with a strong truffled cheese and the lamb chops.

This one has to breathe a bit. Meaty, juicy, opulent cab. Faint hints of caramel bounce around a bed of black fruit and violet. Some alcohol hotness but smooth and round overall. I'd recommend decantation for a solid hour before tasting

Delicious wine. Red and black fruit, chocolate and tobacco. A great pairing with the dry-aged Roseda porterhouse steak (strip and filet mignon).
Drink now.
Great QPR for $25/ bottle.
