  I held on to 2 bottles from purchase made 6 years ago, as the early drinking was so strong, but this particular bottle has barely made it to 2020. Still dark crimson black color, cork was true, no leakage, dark crust, berry, meaty, prune nose - similar on palate, but it lacks the acid and structure to go much further in terms of development. Some tannins still there on sides and top/back of mouth but they’re quickly covered up by heavy dark red and black fruit. Drink up. This was exceptional QPR ($25 Cdn?) in 2014 and still is, but needs closure soon.
  
  Day 2 - kept half bottle for next night. Surprisingly shows more juicy acidity and tannins/structure. Still has dominant raspberry and blackberry jam flavors, but I was wrong, this has few more years left.
