Bought a few of these years back. Thought that it might improve with a few years. This bottle showed up while poking around in the cellar and tonight we had it. Wine was good! Smooth and all flavors were well integrated. I would wish we had a few more!

December 31, 2022. Drank from Bin North 8. Camino Island with Aline, Phil and Liz. Spice currant nose. Dark purple. Full dry chalk presentation with touch of currant and cherry and slight oak spice finish. 8.5/10.

Great QPR. Has depth, some complexity. Not going to stand up to a $40 bottle, but it was just $14. Makes for a great daily drinker type of wine. Heavy enough to go with red meat, but was just light enough to go with a salad with chicken as well. Lots of oak and wood along with some muddled berries and minerals. All in all nice.

Wine is an opaque purple to ruby hue with long legs. The nose presents spicy dark cherries, with hints of raspberries, blackberries and cassis. Medium heavy chewy tannins. Too heavy for roast chicken, and it was a better pairing with steak, but think the best pairing would be game or slow roasted braised meats.

Deep garnet color. Heavy notes of black cherry, plum and cassis. Medium body. No overt tannins. Hitting its stride I would recommend drinking within the next 12 months.
