  Very mature wine. Shows brick colour and lots of sediment in the bottle. Tastes of Licorice, and dark chocolate / cocoa. Very interesting with a roast. Delicious, subtle and still very tasty. Smooth, not powerful like a young wine. Very good indeed!

  Nice GSM, usual fruit, earth, etc. Was a tad austere/acidic. Have to say at this point, prior vintages were better, but I would qualify that by saying this is young and we're going to hold these for at least a year or two, betting there will be some evolvement that will allow better maturation and integration of all the flavors.
  May 30, 2016 update- drinking very well now,the astringency is gone with a little age on it. Great QPR

  Consistent with my previous note, but more dominant raspberry aromas and flavors. Also noticed some earthy funk on the nose at the beginning.
